Lorraine Pelot, Senior Research Officer, Law Commission of Canada:

Peter Hackett, President, Alberta Ingenuity Fund:
	"Katherine Watson walks the walk — she brings artists and scientists into productive conversations pushing the boundaries of what can spontaneously materialize out of the creative vacuum. She can produce exceptional events that fire the imagination and along the way she can excite administrators by the vision of what might be possible when the barriers to communication come down. And that is a truly subversive skill indeed." (July 2006)

Arthur J. Carty, Former President, National Research Council of Canada:
	"On behalf of the National Research Council of Canada (NRC) and its partners, I would like to thank you sincerely and deeply for your tireless efforts in the organization of the Creativity 2000 Conference.

Susan Musgrave, Canadian writer:
	"As chair of the Writers Union of Canada I had the pleasure and privilege of attending the UNESCO Conference on the Status of the Artist in Paris, June 16-21, 1997. I must say I was proud — and I do not use this word lightly — to be one of the Canadians representing our country: Rudy Wiebe, David Silcox, Paul Siren, Sandy Crawley and Katherine Watson, among others spoke eloquently and succinctly on every subject on the agenda, and each of the suggestions they made was incorporated into the new Status of the Artist Recommendations."

(July 2000)

Tessa Goulet, Regroupement québécois de la danse:
	"…les impressions [de Login:danc/se] restent inscrites dans notre mémoire et c'est avec plaisir que je repense à cette série de rencontres fort stimulantes pour toutes la communauté de la danse au Canada. Bravo pour votre travail de coordination et au plaisir de pouvoir partager avec vous d'autres projets." (July 2000)

Mike Winter, Head, Arts Promotion, British Council, London:
	"Let me take this opportunity, on behalf of all of us here in Arts Group, to thank you for, and congratulate you on, a superb job in getting UKaccents off the ground and flying with such panache. The scale and the lead time were enormous challenges, and from this end it's been a great pleasure for us working with you on parts of the campaign. The end result is something which we can be justifiably proud, and all credit to you for pulling it all together so effectively." (August 1999)

Megan Williams, Former National Director, Canadian Conference of the Arts:
	"1,000 thanks for the excellent work you did for us [on The Creativity Gap: How the Arts Inspire a Creative Society]. I was really pleased with the whole event — as was everyone who spoke to me about it." (December 2003)
