For this episode my interview heads to The Village of Riverside Glen, where I speak with a very new resident, June MacMillan. June was a teacher in Mount Forest for ten years before switching modes to parenting and working her family’s dairy farm. She had been living in a retirement facility in Maryhill when the pandemic led to that space closing, and June having to re-locate. It’s a special challenge to move during a pandemic, to a new home with so many new people, and especially when meeting those new people is limited in terms of the times and spaces you can do it in, but June has the best attitude - she actively engages in activities and still finds a way to continue her love of walking (while still staying on the premises), and she has set out to learn a new name every day. Thanks June for sharing your story!
