Premise

The program examined contemporary topics and concerns in the context of the generation gap. Issues such as careers, marriage, Quebec's Quiet Revolution, religion or tobacco were the subject of various episodes.[1]

For most of its run, Generation was a local Toronto programme hosted by Lloyd Robertson. In mid-1965, it was broadcast nationally with selected local episodes supplemented by episodes produced from various regions. June Callwood, Katie Johnson and Bill McVean were additional hosts during the national broadcasts.[2]
