The Generations Seminar at Delmanor Northtown

Residents and invited guests enjoyed an enlightening seminar about different generations currently living together in society.  The terms given to these generations are "Baby Boomers", and "Generations X and Y".

David Cravit is the author of Beyond Age Rage and The New Old.  He has over 35 years experience in advertising and marketing management in North America and is currently Vice-President of Zoomer Media Limited.    David came to Delmanor Northtown to speak about the generations and how seniors are changing all of the rules of the 'expected' way to age.


The "Baby Boomer" era refers to the surge in babies born in post WW2 between the years of 1946-1964.  The generation that immediately followed the boomers are referred to as 'Generation X' and they consist of individuals born in the early 1960's to the early 1980's.  'Generation Y' or the Millennial Generation are those that are born from the late 1980s to early 2000s.


Earlier views on aging are being replaced by a more positive outlook on the retirement years with seniors living more active and healthy lifestyles.  With the life expectancy becoming longer, there are more opportunities for multi-generations to work together, play together and even reside together.  Although there are very distinct differences between the generations, we are seeing the results that these difference are having on the world we live.



The Delmanor Northtown seniors and guests thoroughly enjoyed David's seminar and his humorous insight.  It was very interesting for everyone to learn about how the generational differences affect our world and day to day encounters, and how future generations will likely be impacted.
