For this episode I interview Lois Wilson, a resident at The Village of Riverside Glen. Lois is an Ontario resident by birth growing up near Mississauga and Brampton in Churchville. She worked for a time at the Churchville General Store before studying to be a secretary, and later becoming a teacher. Her life has been surrounded by close extended family - growing up her family's farm was right next to the farm of her father's brother and sister, and they all grew apples and shared farm machinery and sold produce at the St. Lawrence Market, and later her strong bond was with her nieces, one of whom encouraged her to choose Guelph for retirement-living. There have been difficult losses, but Lois has lots of awesome family to help get her through this difficult time. Thank you to Lois for sharing your story!
