About Joyce DeDecker, P.H.Ec. 

I consider myself a lifelong learner. After graduating from the University of Guelph with a degree in Applied Human Nutrition, I worked in the food service industry then took some time off to spend with our family. Later, I continued my education at the University of Western Ontario, graduating with a Bachelor of Education, fulfilling my lifelong dream of teaching Family Studies. I have been the head of the Social Science/Family Studies department at Stratford Northwestern Secondary School in Stratford, Ontario. 
 
I enjoyed my time as past-president of the Ontario Family Studies Home Economics Educators Association (OFSHEEA) and School Board representative on the Ontario Family Studies/Social Science Leadership Council. As an educator, I am very involved with developing inclusive strategies for students with unique learning needs in my Family Studies classes and was awarded Inclusive Educator of the Year in 2017.

Emily Richards, P.H.Ec.
I have been involved with the Ontario Home Economics Association (OHEA) since I was a student at Brescia University College and Western University. I went to meetings and found out more information from my professors and also networked with other Home Economists in the field to widen my knowledge of the profession and it’s benefits. It was recommended by many professors at the time to join and become active in the OHEA board.

Tell Us About Yourself
I was born in Vancouver and moved to Montreal where I attended high school. I attended McGill University taking a Bachelor of Education (Home Economics) and graduated in 1970.  I taught for two years in Hudson, Quebec before moving to Peterborough, Ontario where have I lived ever since. 

​I taught Home Economics, now Family Studies, for 33 years. I first taught at Kenner CVI and then at Adam Scott CVI.  I also spent three years as Summer School Principal for the Kawartha Pine Ridge School Board.  Upon retirement, I was consultant to Ontario Agricultural Foods Educators’ Association for three years.
 
During my career, I was fortunate enough to serve on the OFSHEEA (Ontario Family Studies Home Economics Educators Association) Board for several years, as well as the OHEA Board.  Both Associations led to my growth as a professional and I believe that I became a better home economist because of my involvement in these associations.
