John Fraser, Director of Education, Peel Region, Retired says:
"In the 15 years that I was Director of Education in Peel, one of the largest school systems in Canada, I encountered many people keenly interested in amending, improving and changing the programs in the public school system. Never in all that time have I encountered a person who is more intelligent, insightful, creative, generous, and with such a commitment to improvement that benefits all, than Diane. With her single minded determination, she not only set out to create improvements but did so with the earnestness that earned her a Masters of Education degree. I know that she carries this spirit to all that she does."
