Janet Shepherd is founder and owner of "Bags-To-Go"; an Oakville Ontario based company that specializes in activity bags for the child on the move.

Educated and certified in England as a pre-school teacher, Janet moved to Canada in the early 1970s to raise her family.With 3 young children of her own, the importance of keeping children busy with activities that are easy, fun and relatively inexpensive was a must.When the children went to school full time, Janet went back to work as a pre-school teacher at a Parent Resource Centre.As the Centre grew Janet was continually challenged with the design of new programs to stimulate young minds while keeping the overall rule of "fun" intact.

Janet spent the last 15 years working as the primary teacher at the local Parent Resource Centre and it was here that the idea for activity bags came to light.With constant requests from busy parents for ideas to keep their children occupied on long car trips and rainy days, Janet was inspired to create her activity bags.
