Janice worked for six years as a Special Needs Teacher Assistant at Oakenwald School working in the classroom with needy children and the Reading Recovery Program.

She had just completed her six month volunteer training with Women's Health Clinic and was looking forward to starting the job as a Crisis Counsellor. In growing up she was an avid ringette and hockey player and participated in music and drama in junior high and high school. Her childhood summers were spent at Brereton Lake in the Whiteshell and Janice's love for the lake continued into her adult life. Her special interests were white-water canoeing, scrapbooking, needlepoint, reading and traditional native artwork. Janice was a passionate collector and cherished her many treasurers. In recent years Janice discovered her Metis heritage and was a member of St. Norbert La Barriere Council, focusing her time on collecting food for the Metis Child and Family Services.
