retired from the Ontario Civil Service. My time in the Ontario Ministry Of Citizenship, Culture and Recreation gave me extensive experience with computer applications in libraries. Since leaving the Ministry, I have completed the NRI Schools' Computer Programming course with highest honours.
I retired to Kitchener in 1991. I have served on the Kitchener Public Library Board and the SOLS Saugeen Trustees' Council, on Kitchener's LACAC and on the Mayor's Advisory Committee for Kitchener Seniors (MACKS). I am currently chair of MACKS. To keep up to date with library matters, I tutor for the Southern Ontario Library Service's Excel: a certificate programme in managing a small public library.
