William Lawrence

William is one of Canada’s most experienced animal advocates. From rural beginnings on a dairy farm to heading up Canada’s most effective animal advocacy group, his interest in animal welfare and work in the field has spanned over three decades.

After obtaining a degree in Behavioural Science, William turned his attention to animal protection and has spent much of his career ensuring getting animal welfare on government and community agendas. 

William has also worked to achieve greater protection for animals through representation on various Government and industry standards committees.

She is now a Board member of the World Federation for Animals and keenly collaborating with international and compassionate leaders to advance our vision of a kinder world.
