- Biography
- Eleanor Jourard's parents and grandparents came to Montreal from Russia and Poland. Eleanor attended McGill University but left after her third year. She met her husband, veteran broadcaster Lee Jourard (1929–2014), when he was a camp counsellor at Lake Temagami, north of North Bay. Eleanor and Lee were married in 1951 and moved to Belleville shortly after. A radio job at Quinte Broadcasting’s CJBQ station drew Lee to the Quinte region.
- Eleanor went back to university to get her teaching degree and worked as a high school teacher from 1970 to 1990. She and her husband were affiliated with the Sons of Jacob Synagogue in Belleville and were original Belleville Theatre Guild members who helped create an outstanding community theatre. They had four children—Lewis (d. 2013), Mike, Andrew, and Tigger—and three grandchildren.
