In honour of Geri-Lynn Fontaine
In honour of our dear friend and colleague Geri-Lynn Fontaine, we would like to dedicate this legacy website to her. Geri passed away on December 5, 2022, after a short battle with cancer. Geri’s dedication to the Pathway to Work project was invaluable. Her guidance and wisdom were a gift to both the project team and all of the participants that she served.
Some quotes about Geri, from our team:

Geri lit up in her role and in turn lit up others. I am so sorry for this loss for our communities and programs, Geri was gem.

She was generous and kind, thoughtful and considerate – an amazing facilitator – fun and engaging – with a wonderful, infectious laugh.

She was the most open-hearted person I know. I’m very grateful to have worked with her, had fun with her and learned from her.
