Spinola D’Souza

I joined Chartwell in 2014 as Receptionist at Chartwell Scarlett Heights and was succession planned into the role of the Office Manager from Jul 2015 to Nov 2022. Last year I was the recipient of the Regional Office Manager Award 2022.

Prior to Chartwell, I completed 17 years of experience in the Security and Investigations field as a Data Analyst and Postal Inspector with Canada Post Corporation (aka the Post Office) and I continue to maintain my accreditation as a Certified Fraud Examiner.

In my current role, Dec 2022 to date, I am the new Retirement Living Consultant at Chartwell Avondale Retirement Residence. I am looking forward to meeting each of you and becoming an integral part of our Leslieville community.

Mercury Espresso Bar

Mercury Espresso Bar has been an anchor in Leslieville since 2006, owned by the talented make-up and hair stylist Luisa Duran. 


This small but mighty coffee spot is a staple for actors, directors, and production teams working in the area, along with the artists and residents of Leslieville. You can feel the community vibe as soon as you walk in where you’ll see rotating local artists work on their walls and the eclectic crowd on comfy couches or sitting in the window watching the passers by on Queen street. If you haven’t had a cup of their espresso you may have had it in ice cream form at Ed’s Real Scoop across the street. These kind of collabs make Leslieville a special place and we can’t imagine the hood without Mercury at the centre of it.
