In August 2009 I wrote a post entitled, "Canadian Human Rights Tribunal decision may signal death knell for mandatory retirment in federal sector." The decision in question was Vilven v. Air Canada, 2009 CHRT 24, which is now the subject of a judicial review application by the Air Canada Pilots Association to the Federal Court.

For more on the topic of the status of mandatory retirement in Canada you can read a bulletin that Fasken Martineau issued today entitled "Mandatory Retirement Being Retired Across Canada".
