"Everyone should make sure they are well equipped in something. Everyone has something they can do. Make sure you find that something, learn how to do it, and do it well. Do it with joy! I taught with joy."
Marjorie King was born June 1930 in Trinidad and Tobago. She came to Canada at 23 years old to study teaching, and returned to Trinidad and Tobago to take up her first job. Marjorie returned to Canada in 1965. She was a teacher for more than 40 years and traveled to many places. She currently lives in Toronto.

About this project
Our Neighbours' Stories is a collection of living memories told by seniors living in North York and recorded by youth in and around Toronto. Each story is unique and its interpretation is centred by the young person producing it. From hours of interviews they have constructed the story that most spoke to them. In listening to the stories, we encourage you to also think about what the life lessons mean to you. Our Neighbours' Stories is a pilot project launched by the Caring Community Challenge. The original program was designed by Post Bellum in the Czech Republic. Explore our site beyond the stories to learn more.
If Our Neighbours' Stories inspires you to learn more about the life of seniors in your community, get in touch and add to the collection. Every story matters. Every life is precious. Let's keep growing the collection together.
