Congratulations Janelle!

The board of directors of S.M.Arts are proud to share the wonderful news that our Executive Director, Janelle Rainville was honoured with the CITT/ICTS Educational Achievement Award at a ceremony in Whitehorse, Yukon!! It is awarded to an individual in recognition of longstanding career achievement as an educator who engages in the teaching of technical or related discipline, while preparing students for work within the Canadian live performance industry.

Janelle has embodied this, building on the legacy of our founder Winston Morgan and making this her own passion and pursuit. And like most stage managers, Janelle works quietly in the background ‘backstage’ without seeking credit or the spotlight (in fact we needed to twist her arm to let us celebrate her publicly).

We are lucky to have her championing S.M.Arts – brava Janelle!!!!
