Paulette Sinclair was an actor and visual artist, and occasionally an arts administrator. She began her
acting career in Ottawa at The Great Canadian Theatre Company, Odyssey Theatre, Salamander
Theatre, Arts Court and other companies and venues. A Chalmers grant took her to Toronto to study at
Young People's Theatre. She toured nationally with Carousel Theatre. Then she moved into screen
acting, both television and film, and returned to Ryerson University (now Toronto Metropolitan
University) to study film editing and production. She loved the theatre, she loved learning – whether in
school, performance workshops, or in rehearsals. She lived her life with passion and skill, and a
boundless faith that art could make a difference.
