Helen Dunlop, Founder of CODE and a founding member of the Board of the Ken and Ann Watts Memorial Scholarship Foundation passed away on August 4th. Helen began her working life teaching English in Woodstock and Toronto, and then moved on to the Ministry of Education, where in the 1960’s she was instrumental in the introduction of Drama programs for Ontario Secondary Schools. She then became Assistant Superintendent in the Curriculum Division of the Department of Education, she nurtured the acceptance of drama as both a subject and as a methodology. Helen has been an honourary member of CODE since its founding in 1971 and we are especially grateful for all she has done. A memorial to celebrate Helen’s life was held in Toronto; our president, Brooke Charlebois attended on behalf of CODE. With her passing, the combined education, theatre, ballet and opera worlds have lost a widely respected colleague, friend and long-term supporter.
