Janet Irvine's career in education - as a teacher, a special education department head, a vice principal, and an advocate for teenagers - has won her the Ontario Secondary School Teachers' Federation Provincial Award for “Distinguished Service to Education and Community.” She has a Master of Education degree, a Bachelor of Arts degree in English and psychology, specialist qualifications in reading and special education, principal’s qualifications, and postgraduate accreditations in both psychology and English.

Currently, she is an Educational Consultant for a regional Children's Aid Society, serves on the Police Services Board in her area, and is Vice Chair of the Board for a thriving Community Counselling Centre.
