Age & Opportunity     
 Age & Opportunity of Winnipeg, Manitoba, a non-profit organization for seniors, unable to assist Lionel Bouchard in 2009 when approached for assistance.

Lionel Bouchard had been evicted from his home of over fifty years in Elie, Manitoba, despite agreements signed by Andy & Angie Bouchard, Lynda Staub and Claire Demery that their father could remain in his humble home in Elie, Manitoba.                                 (Click here.)

Mid-August 2011, Lionel Bouchard arrived on his own accord from B.C. to Winnipeg.  at which time Lionel's sister Peggy Keough,of Winnipeg, was immediately made Power of Attorney.

The question one must ask is, if Lionel Bouchard is competent, why are others acting on Lionel Bouchard's behalf, taking over his affairs?
                                                             Age & Opportunity     
Age & Opportunity was contacted.  Lionel Bouchard was placed in a "safe place" - purportedly "safe against his daughter " where he had been living with for the past three and half years at a time and that there would be no charges against her!???

In August 2008, Lionel Bouchard had authorized his lawyer to be escorted out of the province by two private investigators - hired by his lawyer who feared for for Lionel's safety from his son Andy Bouchard of Portage La Prairie, and two daughters, Lynda Staub of Rosser, and Claire Demery of Teulon, while two other investigators with the aid of the RCMP, reclaimed the van provided to Lionel Bouchard for his life time use, which had been locked up and barricaded in Mike Slegers' shed in St. Francois Xavier, Manitoba.

Peggy Keough and Margaret Bouchard attended court conference in September 2011, for the purpose of removing "in direct contravention of the Judge Harvey and Judge Lichenski's ex-parte orders", this second set of court protection orders issued for Lionel Bouchard's safety against his three abusive children who had stolen his home and the past five years of quality of his life forcing him out on the "street" !

                               "No Contact" Orders in favour Lionel Bouchard

As expected, once back in these abusers hands, all the progrss made by Lionel Bouchard's lawyer since 2008, was immediately reversed!

Lionel Bouchard was once again pressured to give up his rights as well as  Lionel's  claims to a life estate and as unpaid vendor for the mortgage Lionel Bouchard had been carrying for Andy Bouchard, entered into at the time of the sale, of the second half of the property abandoned!

The mortgage was to have been paid in annual interest-free (unconscionable) payments of $7,000 which Lionel had to constantly beg for...and still has not yet been paid in full to date by his son Andy Bouchard!!!!

Andy & Angie Bouchard's lakefront property in Louise Lake, in close proximity to Marguerite Bouchard of Keewatin where Lionel Bouchard spent several weeks. From all appearances, Andy Bouchard breached the Protection Order and had contact with his father to force his father to remove the second set of Protection Orders against Andy Bouchard, Lynda Staub and Claire Demery. Lionel Bouchard under duress. with no legal independant representation as his lawyer unable to get ahold of him, was forced to abandon his claims to Life Estate and mortgage money due him by his son Andy Bouchard!

                                            Background information

Louise Lake (Kenora, Ontario) approximately 243 acres owned by Andy & Angie Bouchard, of Portage La Prairie procured in part as a result of unregistered mortgage on Lionel Bouchard's property, equity drawn to purchase property purchased in order to subdivide and financially gain at the expense of Lionel Bouchard.

​Andy & Angie Bouchard's estimated 250 acre lake front property Kenora, allegedly purchased using equity in father's "unencumbered 1/2 of an 89 acre" (whereby neither the life estate nor  mortgage that Lionel Bouchard carried were never registered) on the property in Elie, Manitoba.

As neither the Life Estate nor the mortgage held by Lionel Bouchard had been registered on title, paving the way for Andy Bouchard to use the equity in the property to facilitate a $150,000 mortgage.

It is imperative to note that Lionel's daughter Lynda Staub had been working at Winnipeg Land Titles for over twenty years. Lynda was looking after her father's financial affairs on an almost weekly basis ~ this by Lynda Staub's own admission in a sworn affidavit.  However, Lynda did not ensure that her father's right to a life estate was ever registered on title. Why?  Nor the mortgage he held on behalf of his son Andy Bouchard? Why?

Lionel Bouchard was in the Grace Hospital recovering from a concussion in January 2006, at which time Andy Bouchard listed the Elie farm "For Sale", until pressured to remove the "for sale" sign at the end of the Bouchard Drive.

At that time, the Bouchard Centennial plaque Lionel Bouchard had paid for, as well as the Bouchard Road signs, also "mysteriously" disappeared.  

In 2006, Andy Bouchard was in the process of consolidating  his property in Kenora in order to subdivide his 250 or so acres of lakefront property.

In early 2006, Andy Bouchard wrote up an agreement with his father, stating that prior to June 2006, his father could return to his home. Andy Bouchard had fully anticipated that the Bouchard property would have sold by then!                                                                 (Click here.)
This Agreement dated spring 2006 was also signed by Andy's wife Angie Bouchard, and two sisters Lynda Staub and Claire Demery.

Andy Bouchard asserted to Mike Slegers in Spring 2006, that Andy would allow his father to return to his farm after some minor renovations (which did not necessitate moving his father!)

Contrary to his agreement with his father, Andy Bouchard rented out his father's home to Jack Bock ~ a local who was living at the Elie Hotel at the time.       
                                                     (Click here.)
Andy Bouchard refused to honour agreement with his father, Lionel Bouchard, signed in 2002 - a document Andy denied it's existence ~ until forced to present it in court in July 2008 which confirmed his father was to live out the rest of his days in his humble rancher in Elie.

Agreement entered into at the time Andy had pressured his father to sell the second half of the 89 acres of the original Bouchard Centennial homestead in September 2002.

Indications are that Andy Bouchard paid far below the then going fair market value of $1,200 an acre, simply $675 - contrary to their original agreement in 1990!    
                                   (Click here.)  1990 ~ $40,000
                                   (Click here.)  2002 ~ $60,000
