Management Training Critical as Skilled Labour Shortage Looms, Says Canadian Management Centre
Management Training Critical as Skilled Labour Shortage Looms, Says Canadian Management Centre
Toronto, Ontario (PRWEB) July 30, 2007
Canadian Management Centre has released a podcast addressing the changing face of the Canadian workforce. With concerns brewing over the aging Canadian workforce, and the lack of suitably trained younger employees John Eckmire and Bill Johnston sit down to discuss both the implications and possible strategies for coping with this change. According to a Statistics Canada report released on Friday June 15, 2007 Canada’s main challenge for coping with this change is to increase its productivity.
The Globe and Mail published an article entitled The Economic Challenge of Age on the front page of the July 18th 2007 edition. It was written in response to Statistics Canada’s 2006 Census, which identified that Canada’s main means for coping with this change is to increase productivity.
The forecasted decline in working aged people is a result of both an aging population as well as Canada’s low fertility rate over the past 30 years. According to the report the first signs of slowing should occur in 2011, when the first of the “baby-boomers” will reach retirement age.
Both Eckmire and Johnston address these looming issues and propose strategic ideas to help equip the Canadian business world. Such ideas include the notion of implementing employment partnerships, instituting and maintaining a high level of management training and professional development and striking a work-life balance are sited as primary ways to increase workplace productivity.

Yucatan Real Estate – Colonial or Beachfront – Ideal for Canadian Retirement
Yucatan Real Estate – Colonial or Beachfront – Ideal for Canadian Retirement
As a Canadian planning your retirement, choosing that perfect place to finally get away from the cold Canadian winters is an important part of this planning. Yucatan Real Estate presents many excellent options, with warm weather all year round, quick, easy access back to Canada and some of the world’s best beachfront properties. On the Yucatan Peninsula, Merida Real Estate is a unique option, as a colonial metropolitan city, blending a perfect mix of Mexico’s rich traditions, modern life, and beachfront luxury in the nearby community of Progreso. In both Merida and Progreso, a variety of styles of Mexico Homes can be found, for both those who love a more traditional colonial style, or those who prefer a contemporary style on the beachfront. In any case, with the current strength of the Canadian dollar, these beautiful homes are currently even more appealing for Canadians planning for their retirement.
One of the advantages for retiring in Yucatan’s capital Merida and the nearby Progreso is the rare combination of Mexico’s colonial beauty and very nearby modern beachfront luxury. In both locations, Yucatan real estate is available for excellent prices – both compared to other Mexico options and to Canadian properties. While many tourism and retirement locations on the Caribbean coast of the Yucatan Peninsula – Cancun, etc. – have seen prices rise drastically due to high popularity vacations, Merida and the nearby Yucatan beachfront have seen steadier prices, still much more affordable. In Merida, for example, a small, but beautiful 18th century home, with a traditional courtyard can be found for around 0,000 US! If you still have several years of planning for your retirement you may also consider a Yucatan beachfront property to build on, or with a fixer upper; some can be found for as low as ,000 US. In most Mexico real estate locations, these kind of prices are unheard of. Of course, the prices go up from here, and excellent homes can be found for any budget and lifestyle.
It is also worth comparing these prices to Canada. In Canada, prices have been rising steadily; since the recession seems to have turned around in Canada a few months ago, high competition among young buyers has driven prices up even further, making the average home price in Canada around 0,000 – cold winters and snow included. As mentioned above, properties much less expensive than this are available here in Yucatan. While the ones mentioned above are entirely worthwhile, for the 0,000 US of an “average” house in Canada, you can buy either a very comfortable, highly luxurious home in the Historic Centre of Merida, or a huge, contemporary style home directly on the beachfront. So what would you prefer for this price, an average home at 25 below zero, or luxury at 25 above?
Another factor to consider with regards to Yucatan homes for retirement is the current high which the Canadian dollar is experiencing. Not that long ago, in 2003, the Canadian dollar was up and down around .65 US, where it had been for a while. Since then it moved up, very briefly passing the US dollar, and dropping back to about .80 US during the recession. Since the recession has seemed to be turning around in Canada for the last few months, the dollar has risen back to about .95 US, where it appears to be steady. Let’s say you have 0,000 CDN available for a retirement property. 6 years ago this would have got you a property in the Merida area worth about 0,000 US – as we’ve seen, this is a realistic option here. Let’s say you’re still looking at 0,000 CDN; you could either step up a level in size, or have a choice of more homes, and spend about 5,000 US, or you could buy that same property you could afford before for about 5,000 CDN and save an additional ,000 dollars for your retirement budget. On top of this, a number of properties are still being offered at the same recession based price reductions of one year ago, meaning further savings.
Living in Merida, these savings go a long way. Day to day items are considerably cheaper; health care includes “state of the art” facilities, and is available at much more affordable prices than in the U.S., without the long waiting lines of Canada.
While prices haven’t been driven up by a large influx of tourists, in Merida and the Yucatan coast there are many English speaking residents from Canada, the U.S. and other countries. Libraries, movies, exhibitions are almost always bilingual. Being an established, multi-faceted city, Merida has many museums, and cultural events, such as orchestra music and art shows, as well as anything else you might want to do in a city. In the surrounding area of Yucatan, there are many, many pyramid ruins, and beautiful, natural locations to visit. An, with the strong Canadian dollar, all of this is, again, available at less of an expense to you, to help make your retirement budget more comfortable.

New Study Proves Canadian Drugs are More Affordable than Medicare Part D, says MedCenter Canada
Vancouver, Canada (PRWEB) December 20, 2005
A recent study conducted by MedCenter Canada Inc. (www.MedCenterCanada.com) verifies that of the 1,820 cases analyzed, 84.6% of seniors would spend less money ordering their drugs from a Canadian pharmacy than by enrolling in Medicare Part D, the Bush administration’s controversial drug reimbursement plan.
The MedCenter savings are significant: on average, seniors would save $ 565 per year and 14.9% will enjoy annual savings over $ 1,000 compared to Medicare Part D.
The study also found that for the 15% of seniors that would realize superior savings with Medicare Part D the actual savings averaged only $ 12.90 per month. During the study, many seniors commented that the Medicare program was not worth the hassle to understand and enroll. Consequently, many seniors preferred the simplicity and convenience of ordering from Canada.
Alex Glassey, president of MedCenter Canada says the study illuminates what their customers have known all along. “Compared to Medicare Part D, buying prescription medications from Canada is clearly a superior choice for the vast majority of seniors. They will save more money and will find it much less complicated.”
MedCenter Canada has been rigorously performing personal assessments at no charge for their senior customers. The results are proving invaluable because they take into account the actual drugs each patient takes as well as the details of their chosen Medicare plan. A final comparison of out-of-pocket costs between MedCenter purchases and Medicare Part D is prepared and sent to each senior. As a result, seniors are provided the necessary information to make informed decisions.
For those seniors who wish to see for themselves, MedCenter offers a free online “Part D Calculator” at www.MedCenterCanada.com or they can call toll free 1-800-442-9585 for a personal assessment. “Either way it will only take a few minutes to discover the best way to save on prescription medications. It is the best Christmas present that we could possibly give to our prospective customers,” says Glassey.
MedCenter Canada Inc. (www.MedCenterCanada.com), through its partner network of licensed international pharmacies, is an established leader in providing affordable medications to American customers. Since 2003, MedCenter has helped tens of thousands of Americans save money on their prescription medications.
