RENEE DEIGHTON – Life Stories Markham

In this episode of Life Stories Markham, find out more about the multi-talented and dynamic Renée Deighton.

 If you are a fan of The Shopping Channel (TSC), you may already know of Renée as a popular host on the channel for many years. You will however find out how Renee accidentally fell into that role at TSC. What you may not know is that Renée’s life has spanned a wide range of varied and interesting experiences. In this episode, you will learn how Renée took over an Animal Shelter in the Caribbean. You will hear Renée’s heartfelt description of how she battled a serious hormonal disease while maintaining the inspiration and positivity that got her through this ordeal.

Our conversation with Renée will take us back to her youth when she competed in the Miss Canada beauty pageant. You will find out at that Renée’s first love is music and that she loves to perform. She recounts her first on-stage performance at the ripe old age of four – yes, that’s right: 4 years old! (You may even get to hear an excerpt of that performance.) Renée still maintains a connection to the performance arts as a director, and occasional performer, of the Unionville Theatre Company. You will also discover the reason why Renée was selected as a winner of the prestigious Queen’s Jubilee Medal award.

 Join us for a journey of inspiration, motivation, and charity as we discuss the many aspects of the life of award-winner Renee Deighton.
