Staff & Key Volunteers


Office Manager, ED
Carolyn Mill

Carolyn is a veteran of the entertainment industry where she manages, writes, and performs alongside her husband (and ESC volunteer) Reid Jamieson. She learned much regarding philanthropic work over 15 years as personal assistant to Officer of the Order of Canada Molly Johnson (founder of Kumbaya). From bookkeeper to web mistress, statistician to journalist, Carolyn has worn many hats over the years, and she thrives on a challenge. Carolyn is especially happy to have found a position here at Earthsave where she can put her passion for a plant-based diet (and spreadsheets) to work.

Did you know?

Earthsave is plant-powered, and NOT a vegan organization specifically. Earthsave promotes a shift towards a more whole-foods, plant based diet. Plant-based diets are those where the majority of calories come from plant rather than animal sources. Vegan diets are 100% plant sourced, but also exclude the use of leather, honey, silk, and any other animal products. While we celebrate our vegan friends and their ideals, many Earthsave members (even at the Board level), are neither vegetarian nor vegan, but ALL strive towards eating more plant-based meals for better health, environmental sustainability and compassion towards non-human animals.

Why not become a volunteer or join the board of Earthsave Canada?

Would you like to get more involved and make use of your passion, skills and available time?

Volunteering is a great way to contribute to Earthsave's mission while also gaining new experiences and meeting like-minded people.

To volunteer please email a little about yourself to volunteer@earthsave.ca

We are always looking for new board members who have the talent and the time to help run this organization. We are very open to new ideas and welcome fresh faces.

To be considered for a board position please email your resume, what position you are interested in, and a little about yourself to office@earthsave.ca. If your available time and talents match one of our current openings you will be asked to attend a board meeting. New board members are voted on by members at the AGM, and are occassionally board appointed at one of our monthly meetings.
