Episode #33 - Corrine Richard shares her stories from the green bench with Erin Davis & co-host Doug Robinson from her home at Coleman Care Centre in Barrie. We hear of growing up in Callandar, Ontario, meeting the Dionne Quintuplets at the age of nine, and stories of family relations and working the summer carnival in Wasaga Beach.

"It was a crazy proposal, and it was right up my alley." - Corrine Richard

In Wasaga Beach at the age of 20 was quite happy working with the carnival and tried traveling with them as well all while raising her son, Chris. Corrine met her future husband, Leo, during her first summer at the carnival.

"I've been married 62 years, and did 4 years of courting at the carnival every year. Strolling around the carnival holding hands." -Doug Robinson

"Just do your own thing and keep yourself safe." - Corrine Richard

Co-host Doug Robinson is a resident of The Village of Sandalwood Park long-term care in Brampton. Doug was our first guest on the podcast in October 2020 (Listen Here)

The Green Bench is a symbol of elder wisdom. Physically or virtually, the bench invites us all to sit alongside a senior, share a conversation, or give and offer advice.

It challenges the stigma seniors face; the ageism still so prevalent in society. It reminds us of the wealth of wisdom our elders offer and in doing so, helps restore them to a place of reverence.

"The greatest untapped resource in Canada, if not the world, is the collective wisdom of our elders." -Ron Schlegel
