Lisa Carr of Vaughan and François Henrie of Ottawa have been appointed to two-year terms on Ontario’s Animal Care Review Board.
The board hears appeals when inspectors seize animals they deem to be suffering abuse.
Henrie is a lawyer who is a member of the bar in both Ontario and Quebec. He has been vice-chairman of the Ontario Human Rights Tribunal and served on a crown corporation for more than 20 years.
Carr is a lawyer who had to give up her practice and go into police protection when threatened in connection with the Toronto-area tow-truck industry violence.
