Changing Gears is Newsworthy

Responding to the wants, needs and desires of today’s Power Generation, and as the lifestyles of boomers are evolving, so are we. Changing Gears has revamped, refined and renewed its look.

Changing Gears added its Canada wide searchable Resource Directory to the site. Starting with mostly not for profit organizations and expanding to include pre-screened top notch business it now holds more than 33 different categories. Many more will be added on a monthly basis as everyone in the know is catching on to The Changing Gears Way.

Changing Gears changed its tag line to “Enhancing your Life Changes”. This amazing evolution came about to better focus on boomers, their parents and their families. We believe that change can be an empowering thing and we want to help you experience and enjoy it to the fullest.

With this tag line change also came a whole new website and newsletter better positioned to be your guide to change from a Canadian point of view. We called it Focus on a Friendly Future and what better way for spring fever to hit the Changing Gears Team.

It seems that all over Canada people are giving the New Changing Gears rave reviews, and we will continue to evolve in a direction that meets your needs.
