ABOUT ME
Joe Belanger
Marilyn and Joe Belanger
WHERE I COME FROM
There was no silver spoon in my cards but my parents Paul & Marie were incredibly hard workers, raised me in a Christian home, and taught me a strong work ethic and the importance of helping others.
I met my much better half, Marilyn, at the age of 15 and were married at age 20. We will celebrate our 53rd wedding anniversary this June but have been together for 58 years!
We have two wonderful children Bryan and Amy that we are so proud of. Unfortunately no grandchildren yet.
Our great country Canada has provided us with unlimited opportunity, freedom, safety and security!
My life has been truly blessed and it has been my pleasure, my awesome responsibility and my privilege to serve and give back to our community!
