S a n k e y k e e p s fit, e n jo y s g o o d h e a lth (Continued from page B2) When he's not walking, Sankey is working out at the Oakville Seniors Citizens Recreation Centre on Kerr Street, lifting weights to strengthen his right leg and arm, and taking aerobics classes and aquafit (at Oaklands pool) to improve his muscle tone. "I have regained almost full move ment, but my right arm and hand are still weaker," he says, lifting both arms up above his head and shoulders to demonstrate their difference in strength. "I am very lucky," he continues. "My health is good." He attributes his good health today to his physical conditioning. "I would like to see more men, and recovering stroke patients, coming out to the Kerr Street centre," he says, adding more people his age should be walking. He walks with the Happy Hikers, a seniors walking group based at the cen tre, every Tuesday and Friday. "Walking is a way of life for me these days," he muses. Sankey has put the pressures of business behind him. He opened his own architectural and interior design firm in 1964, land ing contracts that put his name in lights - something which came at a price. `There's no question in my mind that stress brought on my strokes. I was working with Bombardier, a very stressful job." Originally from Montreal, Sankey had an office in that city, plus locations in Vancouver, Toronto and Ottawa. The Sankey Partnership employed 30 peo ple. "I had to do a lot of traveling, such as going to Vancouver on a Monday morning and coming back on an overnight flight on Tuesday." He moved to Ontario in 1969, when a huge contract, to design all of the buildings, plus the Canadian headquar ters in Toronto, for Mercedes-Benz, lured him east. Other credits include the Fathers of Confederation Building in Prince Edward Island, the Canadian Embassy in Saudi Arabia, the False Creek Marina in Vancouver, the 37storey Sheraton Centre hotel in Montreal, and the Rideau Area Project, a combination pedestrian and transit mall in Ottawa. The Sankey Partnership became known for design ing large corporate buildings. Sankey graduated from McGill University in 1958, and has until five years ago, taught there part time. Sankey is walking proof that one can recover from stroke. SALE PRICES END SUNDAY, AUGUST 13, OR WHERE SEARS IS CLOSED, SATURDAY, AUGUST 12, 2000 Save *200 KENMORE 18-CU. FT.
