A divorced career woman and mother of two daughters, Janet Smith earned a B.Comm from University of British Columbia and a PhD from the University of California at Berkeley. Born in Quebec, and growing up in a small town in Alberta, she spent most of her working life in Ottawa as a public servant, reaching the most senior position of deputy minister in a number of federal government departments. Smith's first position in Ottawa was in the Office of Equal Opportunities for Women. In that role, as well as in subsequent positions, she promoted and mentored women in making their choices, something she continues in retirement.

Janet Smith lives on Salt Spring Island, British Columbia, where she is enjoying retirement in a very special and unique community.
