#64 Chantelle Archambault - Communications Director at the Vancouver Humane Society

In this episode, Shawna sits down with Chantelle Archambault, Communications Director at the Vancouver Humane Society, for an important conversation about animal advocacy, public awareness, and how change actually happens at the community and policy level.

Chantelle has worked as the Communications Director at the Vancouver Humane Society since 2021. She is passionate about justice for all, both humans and animals, and has worked with non-profit organizations that focus on family services, social justice advocacy, and creating safer spaces for marginalized communities. Chantelle’s lifelong commitment to the ethical treatment of animals inspired her to volunteer for the Toronto Humane Society and later to move across Canada to take on her current role at the VHS. She has appeared in media outlets including the CBC, CTV News, CityNews, and the Daily Hive.

Together, Shawna and Chantelle discuss the work the Vancouver Humane Society does behind the scenes, including past and current campaigns, efforts to raise awareness about the cruelty of rodeos and horse racing, and why these practices are still widely misunderstood or normalized. They also explore the bigger picture of advocacy, including how individuals can engage with local government officials, speak up about animal welfare issues, and help drive meaningful change through education and policy.

This episode is a blend of advocacy, education, and empowerment, perfect for anyone interested in animal welfare, ethical living, and making an impact in their local communities.
