109 Mike Lesperance (Long-Term Care, Village of Riverside Glen)

For this episode I interview Mike Lesperance, a resident in Long-Term Care at The Village of Riverside Glen. Mike's life has spanned three pretty distinct and different Canadian cities: born and raised in Montreal, Mike moved his family to Mississauga in the 80s following his import-export job, and then moved them family to Fergus, where he went on to own and operate a coffee shop. Today we talk about these three cities' respective night-lives, and Mike's experience navigating living through a pandemic, while balancing Diabetes and Muscular Dystrophy (all while maintaining his sense of humour and love of potato chips). Thank you so much to Mike for sharing your story!
