Today is your day Boomer! And today is a day or night for a temporary job if you want it. That's right, this recent Arctic cold spell means some wineries in the Okanagan are picking their ice wine grapes and they need pickers! Hardy pickers, that is......people, like you, that can work in the cold for long hours and do some manual labour. I think the temperature has to be at least -8 Celcius, so they often pick into the night hours. Why would Boomers do this? For the money, obviously, to supplement their pensions but also for the "experience"! You might only do it once in your life just to get the feeling.....the atmosphere. That's great. And it is just like other Boomers who pick up odd jobs at various times; working with Census Canada is an employment opportunity right now, as is a job with Elections Canada if Justin Trudeau calls a federal election this year. These are great, short-term opportunities for Boomers. They keep us fresh, active and alive in our retirement years. Cheers!
