Zelda McCague (née Strongman; 31 March 1888 – 6 August 2001) was recognized as the oldest living Canadian and one of the oldest people in the world whose age has been verified. The long-time resident of Beeton, 40 kilometres north of Toronto, once attributed her longevity to eating small meals and abstaining from alcohol and cigarettes. Her grandson, Paul McCague, a Toronto lawyer, said it had a lot to do with leading a good life and good genes.
