Carolyn is a native of Ontario, growing up in Ottawa and subsequently settling in Toronto. She attended Queen's University where she received B.A. and B.S.W. degrees, and later completed her M.S.W. Carolyn worked in several community agencies before joining the Faculty of social Work at the University of Toronto.
Carolyn, now retired, remains active and involved. She is a member of the Toronto Seniors' Council and is currently participating in a project to teach people how to be friendly to seniors. They are training some of the hospital staff so that they in turn may train others.
Carolyn, now aged 82, says with a laugh "you can tell people that I travel and I drive my car and drive at night". She is also, with less enthusiasm, learning to use a computer, but she prefers to hear a voice whenever possible. |
