Toronto, 29/03/11 - Fred Peters, Management and Financial Consultant poses for a photo in downtown Toronto, Ontario, Canada. There���s an unspoken elephant in the room whenever Fred Peters interviews for a job. Even though it's illegal for interviewers to ask his age, he knows it is on their mind. ���I���ve found you have to deal with the age factor up front, ��� says Mr. Peters, who is 63 and until 2008 was chief financial officer of the now-defunct software maker Digital Fairway Corp.

Toronto July 16/2010 - Amar Patel, who is suffering from breast cancer, lies in bed in her apartment in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Patel is in a dispute with The Bank of Nova Scotia over some holdings she wishes to redeem from the bank. Photo By Deborah Baic/The Globe and Mail Story details: In the end, nothing else would do for Bank of Nova Scotia but that Amar Patel - 73 years old, bald from chemotherapy, in the throes of metastatic breast cancer - should drag her aching bones down to the bank's head office in downtown Toronto. The trip from her airy apartment above the Indian Rice Factory, the landmark restaurant she founded in 1970 and has run ever since, was an agony of no fewer than five transfers - from the hospital bed in her living room to a commode, from commode to the chair lift for the first set of stairs, from that chair to the next chair lift for the second set, from that chair to a walker, from walker to the car. This exercise took 59 minutes and the best efforts of her son Aman, daughter-in-law Deepa and restaurant employee Chandan Sindhwal. All she wanted was to do was take delivery of the silver the bank was holding for her in the form of the certificates she'd bought decades earlier.Deborah Baic/The Globe and Mail
