AMRRIC MEMBER OF THE MONTH-July 08

Josey Kitson- Project & Member Society Development Manager WSPA Canada

After working in a veterinary clinic for several years I realized that my passion was to work ‘with’ animals but also ‘for’ them. In 2002, I graduated from Queen’s University in Kingston, Ontario where I studied animal ethics and minority rights. I promptly went back to school to study project management in the development sector. In 2006, I combined my passion for animals with my background in international development by accepting a position as Project Manager at the World Society for the Protection of Animals (WSPA) in Canada. Since then I have been working on a National strategy to address dog overpopulation on First Nations land. I currently live in Aurora, Ontario with my husband Michael and 10 year old Wheaten Terrier Whiskey.

Thankyou for visiting.
