Adrian Nelson – Director of Communications

Adrian has a rich history in marketing and non-profit work. After studying film in university Adrian opened his own media company, focusing on youth markets and new media. Eventually the need to do something more took over and Adrian dedicated his time to non-profit work.

Working for many years in the environmental sector, Adrian was integral in establishing chapters of the Surfrider Foundation in Canada and still sits on the national board for the Canadian arm of the foundation.

As a strong outdoor enthusiast and animal lover, the anti-fur cause was close to his heart. When an opening arose with The Association for the Protection of Fur-Bearing Animals, Adrian was quick to act and joined the team in January of 2009.

In his spare time Adrian can often be found hiking remote areas of our coastline in search of surf or relaxing a little closer to home with his wife Chaline and Koa their rescued Doberman.

 

The Association for the Protection of Fur-Bearing Animals

Since 1944, The Association for the Protection of Fur-Bearing Animals has worked to end the commercial fur trade by exposing trapping cruelty and by protecting fur-bearing animals in the wild or in confinement.

A dedicated volunteer Board of Directors manages our society and our work is entirely supported by donations.

Our top goals are to:
Abolish the commercial fur trade
Ban dog and cat fur in Canada
Create opportunities to co-exist with wildlife (ie. beavers and coyotes)
