ZOOMER IS NOW A DECADE OLD THIS MONTH. But with the first baby boomer born in 1946, it was decades in the making. Our founder, Moses Znaimer, had one goal in mind when he launched the magazine – a new vision of aging, at once positive, inspiring and celebratory. He hired me, and I was honoured to convene a crack editorial team to bring his vision to the page and online, through a blend of policy and lifestyle content c both relevant and aspirational, for an audience that we knew would be engaged. We are proud of the countless stories of reinvention, advances in health and wellness, travel trends, financial fi advice and the latest in the worlds w of style, arts and entertainment. Mostly I want to thank you, the reader, for joining us then and continuing with us on this journey.

The letter is framed and hangs in the ZoomerMedia boardroom. After our first issue was published featuring Wayne Gretzky on the cover photographed by Bryan Adams, we received this letter from the iconic Canadian journalist Peter C. Newman. Mr. Newman is a man with a sense of humour.

On a 2008 speaking tour to introduce the Zoomer philosophy, Moses and I were thrilled to spot the inaugural issue in Halifax.
