“Have Seniors Got Rights?” by Daniel Grosso – Senior resident in Vancouver Downtown Eastside (DTES)
AHA MEDIA recently received a letter from Daniel Grosso asking for donations towards his Pancake Breakfast program in the Vancouver Downtown Eastside
Please read below:
“Have Seniors Got Rights?”
Penned by Daniel Grosso on August 25, 2011
Well fellow readers, this “old” senior citizen to take up a pen again and write about injustice toward us elderly residents of our “fair” province again. Besides getting older what have we done to become a lost race?
This article is being written because of a project that a young woman started and I’m carrying on because I believe in this project. Her and my crew have made it grow from feeding around twenty people to over seventy. And you say a senior cannot make it happen? If a door opens and we can start a project such as this, where can it go but ahead?
There is a problem tho, it is called money. Everything goes up in price except pensions. They stay at a low rate, you know. Don’t give a senior too much as they may just squander it trying to help others who are less fortunate then us “older dumber” seniors are.
Don’t forget, I came just after the “Ice Age”.
If you wish to sympathize with me and find about our breakfast program, please write to me as I have no computer
Thank you for reading this
Yours truly
Daniel Grosso
Note: You may write to me to donate to the Pancake Program for folks in the Downtown Eastside

Jack Layton Candlelight Vigil and Memorial at the Vancouver Art Gallery
Vancouver came out to remember Jack Layton and to pay their last respects one of Canada’s greatest politicians!
John Gilbert “Jack” Layton, PC (July 18, 1950 – August 22, 2011) was a Canadian social democratic politician and the Leader of the Official Opposition. He was the leader of the New Democratic Party from 2003 to 2011, and previously sat on Toronto City Council, serving at times during that period as acting mayor and deputy mayor of Toronto. He was the Member of Parliament for the constituency of Toronto—Danforth from 2004 until his death.
