Janet Miklas (née Porter) passed away suddenly of a heart attack in August 2019. She was born in England and trained as an occupational therapist. Upon moving to Vancouver, she completed the bachelor’s degree completion program in rehab (OT) in 1982 and worked at CARS and GF Strong in Vancouver. She retired to travel and sail with husband Walter, before moving to Gabriola Island in 2010. They enjoyed the island life and were involved in gardening, wildlife preservation and preventing freighter anchorage off Gabriola (GAFA). She was predeceased by her husband in 2019. Janet is survived by her sister Ann Porter Hoke (UBC grad '82) and the family in the US. Janet left her many friends and family too early; she still had preservation causes and travel plans to complete.
