Governance Committee

Spay/Neuter Committee

Prevention is the key to ending animal homelessness.  The spay / neuter committee helps tackle the root causes of animal overpopulation by developing plans to: open a high volume spay/neuter clinic, alter animals before they are adopted, and support a strategic Trap / Neuter / Release program for feral cats.

If you’d like to join the spay / neuter committee, please contact spayneutercommittee@torontohumanesociety.com  


Volunteer Committee

Volunteers are the lifeblood of the Toronto Humane Society. They enrich the life of the animals, organize events and raise much needed dollars. The volunteer committee will make sure they are involved at the highest level, and that their work is appreciated and rewarded.

If you’d like to join the volunteer committee, please contact volunteercommittee@torontohumanesociety.com
