2 Janet Allingham (Old Girl, Class of '68) Registered Nurse in independent practice. Education: • B. Sc. (Nursing) from the School of Nursing at McGill • International Board Certified Lactation Consultant • M. A. in Applied Linguistics, Carleton University Career Path: • Like most nurses, I started off in hospital nursing. However, our education at McGill had a strong focus on community nursing (during that era) and so I soon switched to home care ie providing nursing care in the home. • I also worked for a few years in two hospitals in Montreal as a Liaison Nurse, assisting patients to make the transition from hospital to home by organizing home care services for them. • During the ten years I was at home while my children were young, I kept active in nursing by doing volunteer work for the Canadian Cancer Society: I assisted people who were diagnosed with cancer to obtain services such as transportation and information. • When I went back into the workforce on a full time basis, I became a public health nurse, eventually qualifying as a lactation consultant. I worked for many years with a rural population, many of whom did not read or write well. This introduced me to the field of health literacy, and to M.A. studies in applied linguistics. • At the present time I am developing an independent nursing practice that focuses on testing printed health information to make sure that it can be used by people with limited literacy skill, and also finds ways of involving them in the writing of such materials. • I am also currently a volunteer literacy tutor in a prison and in a Learning Kitchen for at risk youth in Vermont. Other Information: I think that some experiences at Traf impacted my career path. In the first place, McGill was where almost all of us went! Second, Traf’s Principal at the time, Miss Harvie, stressed the importance of helping people who did not have as many resources as we had. I think that this is partly why I find myself working, much of the time, with marginalized populations within our communities: poor people, those who have limited literacy skill, those in prison etc. I have found this to be very rewarding, because as a person who is part of the mainstream, with a degree of comfort in approaching organizations, I am able to be a voice for those who cannot speak or advocate for themselves. 3 Websites: http://www.nursingcareerscanada.ca/ Anitra Bostock Sports Coordinator for the City of Westmount Education: • Concordia University B.A Specialization Applied Human Sciences Therapeutic Recreation • McGill University Public Relations Management Graduate Certificate (in progress) Career Path: • I worked at 2010 Olympics in Vancouver as the Staffing Supervisor for the Canada Pavilion for both the Olympics and the Paralympics. • I want to continue working in community and municipality based programming for the time being and eventually expand into health care and education in the realm of event management and fundraising. Other information: • In 2009 I started a Christmas gift box campaign in association with La Rues des Femmes. Since 2009 we have filled over 500 gift boxes and 50 food baskets that have been donated to local women’s shelters just before Christmas. Items that go in each box are personal care products, chocolates, bus tickets, pyjamas, socks and other items, we also collect money and use the funds to purchase extra items to go in the boxes. Our goal this year is to fill 250 boxes and 50 food baskets as well as get 2 washing machines and 2 dryers. • My goals are to teach, train and design educational events. • I want to inspire girls to be active and achieve their goals. 4 Sun Ah Brock Co-­‐owner and president of Lux Decor and 123Quatro inc., a sales agency in the Home Decor industry Education: • Lasalle College in Fashion Design Career Path: • Worked in the Fashion industry as a retail supervisor for Groupe Steilman. • At 23 Brock supervised 10 US retail stores and re-­‐vamped the merchandising image of these stores, while increasing sales and customer service. Fashion was a great influence in Brock's current career in the home decor industry. • Having started a Sales Agency in 2001 called 123Quatro inc, Brock developed home decor products for various retailers across Canada ( Reno Depot, Loblaws, Zone, Rona etc. ) • Working with prominent design Guru Joseph Mimran of Club Monaco fame, Brock travelled to India for many years sourcing exclusive product for President's Choice. Brock consistently produced high quality product with a design edge and became a strong vendor for Loblaw's. Style, Sourcing & Quality control was the strength of Brock's sales agency. • Brock then went on to open Lux Decor in 2004 which has become a leader in Home furnishings in the Montreal area. Lux Decor has been featured in Maison et Demeure, Decormag, Montreal Home, The Gazette and various other publications. Lux Decor is a reflection of Sun Ah Brock's passion for all things decorative.
