Adrienne George
“It’s an honour, each day, to align my values and my actions for the animals, the planet and our improved health. Once we know better, we need to do better!”
Adrienne George has been an ethical vegan 6 years ago and has never looked back! Currently Global Marketing Director with Animal Save Movement and the Plant Based Treaty campaign, Adrienne is also Co-Organizer for Toronto Pig Save, Lead Safety Marshal for Toronto Pig Save and Cow Save, Regional Liaison for ASM chapters in North America and a Board Member and Organizer for Burlington Vegfest.
With a college diploma in Marketing and Promotions, as well as a degree in History from Brock University, Adrienne branched out into a 20-year Marketing & Special Events career with companies such as Warner Music Canada and Tim Hortons. Adrienne also volunteers, on a weekly basis, at her “happy place” – The Ass Menagerie Sanctuary, in Wainfleet, Ontario, where she gladly helps to clean the barn, pamper the animals and hug sheep.
Marc Goldgrub
Marc is the founding lawyer at Green Economy Law Professional Corporation. Before launching the firm in 2020, Marc worked as a resident associate at the premier New York entertainment law firm Grubman Shire Meiselas & Sacks. He is a member of the Toronto Community Bikeways Coalition and Citizens’ Climate Lobby’s Toronto chapter. He’s been a proud vegan since 2011.
Marc’s writing on environment, health, and housing policy has been published by the Toronto Star, blogTO, NOW Magazine, the National Observer, the Energy Mix, and Psychedelic Spotlight. He’s also been quoted in Bloomberg, CBC, CTV News, Psychedelic Alpha, Tripsitter, and other media.
Kelly Kerr
Kelly Kerr has been a supporter of VegTO since her vegan journey began 9 years ago. A vegetarian in the 1990s, she rediscovered her path in 2014 when the mother-of-two learned from a iVegan “Why Love One But Eat The Other” subway campaign that mother pigs sing to their babies. Since then she has been an unstoppable activist for the animals, and regularly volunteers with various animal rights organizations including Animal Save Movement, Plant Based Treaty, Wishbone Animal Rights Lab, and Climate Healers. You can find her speaking about all things vegan on the weekly online show The Vegan Stew and as a co-host of the Calling All Vegans show. Sharing food at all-day vigils inspired Kelly to become a food activist and to earn a vegetarian culinary certificate at George Brown College. Her former career in community management and customer service for eBay and other Dotcom corporations shapes her relationship with the vegan community in Toronto and on social media, where she “enables” individual plant-based transitions and facilitates the global vegan revolution under the brand The VeganAbler. VegTO anticipates a tidal wave of new vegans and Kelly is dedicated to teach everyone to wax their surfboards!
