World Animal Protection is the global voice for animal welfare, with more than 70 years’ experience working to protect animals from cruelty through practical, sustainable and science-based solutions that help people and animals alike.
We have offices in 12 countries and collaborate with local communities, the private sector, civil society and governments across 47 countries.
We have General Consultative Status with the UN and are members of Canada’s National Farm Animal Care Council (NFACC).
We address the two biggest causes of animal suffering today – industrial farming and the wildlife trade. Our goals are to give wildlife the right to a wild life and to build a sustainable, equitable and humane food system. Our work to protect animals will play a vital role in solving the climate emergency and public health crises.

Since our founding, Meridian’s commitment to helping our Members build better lives has never wavered. By focusing on what is at the heart of our Members’ lives — their families, homes, businesses, health, and communities — we are working to fulfill a role as partner, advisor, and supporter.
As Ontario’s largest credit union, with over 370,000 Members, we’re committed to providing exceptional banking services and advice. We also have a role to play that goes beyond financial services. Our commitment to Members and communities is rooted in this fundamental belief.
Unlike some of the larger financial institutions, we don’t have public shareholders. Our Members are owners – that means that any profit we make goes back into improving our products and services, and innovating new ways to enhance our Members’ lives.
By helping Members build overall resilience, we hope to make the tough moments a little less tough, and the good moments a little more great. By doing this together, Canadians can truly achieve better lives.
