A new survey finds past failures are not stopping Canadians from making New Year’s resolutions. 

The survey for Sun Life Financial finds almost 8-in-10 Canadians are making resolutions for 2012. Sun Life Financial Senior Vice-President Kevin Strain says the vast majority are focusing on their health: "We're talking about losing weight, getting more exercise and eating better. These are great goals, but unfortunately, the survey also tells us only 25% have kept their resolutions in the past."
 
Strain adds the survey found that women are more likely than men to make health-related resolutions.
 
 
The Ipsos survey also found almost one-third of Canadians have resolved to pay down debt in 2012, and close to one-in-four want to travel somewhere special or spend more time with family and loved ones.
