Michael Zinay and Yvonne Hiemstra then above and now left
1999
Michael Zinay (EMBA, Artsci’77) reconnected at Homecoming 2001 with Yvonne Hiemstra (PHE’77), whom he had dated during his undergrad years (’72-’76). Fast-forward to 2005, when they decided to live together. Yvonne quit her job as a marketing research guru with Cadbury Adams, sold her Toronto home and moved to Montréal (Beaconsfield). She has since set up a consulting company – whY Marketing – and has learned to cheer for the Habs “en français.” Keenly interested in boating, they purchased an old trawler – Yankee Zulu – in 2006 and are refurbishing it. So far they’ve cruised the St Lawrence and Lake Ontario from Montréal to Toronto, as well as the Ottawa River and Rideau Canal. This summer they will be cruising the Bay of Quinte from their base in Kingston. If you’re in the area, they would love to hook up.
