Montreal biz editor leaving paper

Bryan Demchinsky, the business editor of the Montreal Gazette who has been at the paper for 28 years, is leaving the business.

Demchinsky writes, “But I’m not retiring, I tell them. I’m just changing my office. I’ve given enough at this one and would like try a few other things, some of which almost certainly will even produce income.

“The key to it all is to stay healthy, but, in turn, one of keys to health is to stay active, as in work active.

“We are no longer so much hewers of wood and workers on assembly lines as we once were. Now we are more entrepreneurial and we work more with our minds and use our bodies to play. In this context, the boomers’ greatest contribution may be yet to come if we keep working and playing in the manner to which we have become accustomed. We will defuse the demographic time bomb.”
