JANET EVANS 1939- 2022 - I was thinking about this wonderful person and in doing a search, I just learned of the news; the passing of CBC Executive Producer--Janet Evans. She was my executive producer on CBC's Television kids' series, "Switchback." I was a young man when she hired me to be her CBC Toronto TV producer. I have to say with all the supervisors I have had in my career, she was the best. She gave guidance and allowed creativity. She was tough but yet, very kind and thoughtful. Long after the show, "Switchback" was no longer in production, she learned of the passing of my father. She called me to offer emotional support. My dad passed at the young age of 73 and I told her how I recently saw a documentary on CBC's news and information series, "The Journal"-- that people are now living well into their 90s. The documentary also said that 'old age' now starts at age 85. She laughed at that and liked it. No matter what age, Janet Evans was always a young person and filled with life. She touched so many people in a positive way and I am so grateful to have worked for her and had the privilege to have known her. Her memory is a blessing.

My deepest condolences to Janet's family.
I worked with Janet for many years at CBC Television. She was as fine and talented a person as you could know. I have fond and now, bittersweet, memories of our many wonderful conversations, particularly about the arts.
I had always loved the arts. But as I began to cover more stories about the arts community, Janet was instrumental in broadening my thinking and deepening my appreciation for the visual art, theatre, dance and music that veers beyond the mainstream. I was so fortunate to receive her guidance and so blessed to know her.
Janet was interesting and fun and wonderful and truly made this world a better place.
Again, my deepest sympathies.
