0:00It's April 28th. This is Canada News Today, powered by AI. I'm Cory with the Story. Ivan Winuchus just hit 107 years old, celebrating in Mississauga on Tuesday, April 28th, 2026. That puts him among Canada's oldest living men, surrounded by family who call his life a mix of solid habits and sheer luck. Born in Ukraine in 1919, he survived the Holodomor famine in the 1930s, got deported to Siberia by the Soviets, and lost. Touched with his baby brother, then in World War II, drafted by the Russians, he pulled off a wild escape by posing as a driver on a jeep headed to the Americans. After the war, he married Olga, moved to London, Ontario in 1951, and built a life there raising a daughter. Sadly, neither she nor his wife are around to see this milestone. Family shares his secrets to sticking around so long, stay active, fold origami with the grandkids, skip the booze and smokes, dodge stress and keep.
