Margot BoydPresidentMargot holds a B. Comm. and a Masters in Health Sciences from the Faculty of Medicine – both from the University of Toronto. She has worked at the Premier’s Council on Health, Wellbeing and Social Justice, the Ministry of Health and the Ministry of Economic Development and Trade, as well as three hospitals on University Avenue in Toronto.
Both Margot’s parents served in the Canadian military, and she has always been an activist for the public good in both the workplace and in a volunteer capacity. She was raised with the maxims “do the right thing” and “raise your voice” for the community. Margot participated as a volunteer for the ‘STORM’ (Save The Oak Ridges Moraine) campaign which resulted in environmental protections, and ‘TEA’ (Toronto Environmental Alliance) on the ban of toxic pesticides for cosmetic use in Toronto, which resulted in the Toronto bylaw phasing out their use. Margot’s interest in and family connection to the statutory trust now known as ‘MPGC’, positioned her uniquely to work with Pamela Taylor and Lorraine Tinsley in advocating for an update of the historic legislation to repatriate ‘MPGC’ back to the public domain. Margot’s 3-great-Grandfather Sir John Beverley Robinson was the Attorney General and the author of legislation in ‘Upper Canada’ in 1826. He also presented the bill to create what became known as “Upper Canada’s First Public Ownership Trust” to the Legislative Assembly. This is the legacy which she continues to work to preserve for the people of Ontario. |
