Liz White (activist)

Elizabeth White (born c. 1950) is a Canadian animal rights activist and politician.

She earned a nursing degree at McGill University, and then worked in Kitchener, before moving back to Toronto a few years later.

[2] White is a founder and board member of the Animal Alliance of Canada, a non-profit organization set up in 1991, where she focuses on legislative issues, municipal animal control by-laws, hunting and human-wildlife conflict, and fundraising.

[4] White is an opponent of the annual Canadian seal hunt, and as a result supports a boycott of Canada's seafood industry.

She was one of three women (along with Lesli Bisgould of the University of Toronto and Shelagh MacDonald of the Canadian Federation of Humane Societies) who drafted Bill C-17B/C-10B, an anti-cruelty bill that among other things called for animals to be regarded as "living property."
