Editing Jane Urquhart (section)

==Education==
Urquhart attended John Ross Robertson Public School until the end of Grade Seven, moving to [[Havergal College]], a private school for girls, for grades eight to twelve. After that, she attended a junior college in B.C. for one semester before enrolling at the [[University of Guelph]]. In an interview, Urquhart recalls that very little of her childhood education touched on Canadian history or Canadian literature. "We were very much a colony when I was in...school, and so the past as I knew it survived in a physical sort of way. It existed in barns and rail fences and Ontario Gothic farmhouses, old woodstoves."<ref>Wylie, Herb.

In 1973, she returned, this time to study art history, completing her second BA in 1976.<ref name="collectionscanada.ca"/>
