In Memoriam: Janet Fast
The Vanier Institute is deeply saddened to learn of the recent passing of Dr. Janet Fast. A longstanding project partner, leading researcher, and “friend of the Vanier family,” she was instrumental in our understanding of families and work. The Institute recognized her contributions in 2012 with the Mirabelli-Glossop award. She continued to work tirelessly to support the wellbeing of families reconciling employment and care, and to advance policies related to caregiving and workplace supports. We extend our deepest condolences to her family, friends, colleagues, and students.
