Happily married for 35 years to his high-school sweetheart and the proud father of two wonderful young women who have given him four grandchildren, Michel is a family man at heart. “I cook now (thanks to my brother Éric),” says Michel playfully. “I’m an avid hockey player, which keeps me in shape. And in the summer, you’ll see me out on the links with my favourite golf partner since the tender age of 14: my dad. Life has been very kind to me and I could not be more grateful.”
