I first met Lowyne in the mid 80’s when I joined staff development. I trained staff for the “new” child welfare act in 1985. She was a huge support as I learned to be a good trainer. She helped learn to train managers and supervisors with Alberta Social Services. She was a wonderful woman, full of joy. She was a great person to have as a friend and mentor. I had the good fortune to work with her again towards the end of my career. She will be missed.
