For many people, retirement no longer marks the official end to their working lives, but rather the starting point for fulfilling the dreams they want to accomplish.
A TD survey finds more than one-third of people ages 18 to 64 want to work part-time or casually at something they love after they retire, one in five wants to volunteer, and one in 10 wants to start a small business.

More than 1,912 Canadians participated in the survey.
