Sue McErlain

Independent woman

: Working in downtown Toronto and seeing a homeless woman made me wonder what her story was and how did she end up here? It made me realize that I had to set myself up for independence. I went back to night school at Ryerson and got my Business Admin Diploma and continued updating my skills ensuring I was marketable during my working career.

Fitness foray

: I was never an athletic type of person but at age 55 decided it was time to get healthier. I changed my eating habits and started attending fitness classes.

Sisterly love

: When I’m with my sisters, we laugh a lot and sometimes cry together–they are my rock!
