In this episode, Marian M.P. Temelkov, Global CEO of Dynamis Group, welcomes to the podcast Marc Hull-Jacquin - Founder and Executive Director at Shelter Movers
A passionate social justice leader, Marc founded Shelter Movers while on parental leave in 2016. Struck by how dangerous and complicated it can be for survivors attempting to leave an abuser, Marc developed the innovative, survivor-focused moving service with the guidance of local women’s shelters. Shelter Movers’ volunteer-powered service fills a critical gap in Canada’s social safety net, as the only one of this kind in Canada. The organization currently moves thousands of families in crisis annually in cities across the country.
Prior to this, Marc spent 15 years working in government relations, program evaluation, and policy development, providing expertise to the public service and private corporations, including Enbridge, Accreditation Canada, the Council of Academic Hospitals of Ontario, and the Health Profession Regulatory Advisory Council (ON).
Marc sits on a number of Boards, including the Betty Dejong Foundation (Ontario) and the Solid Grounds Legal Clinic (Nova Scotia). In 2022, Marc was awarded the Governor General’s Meritorious Service Medal for his work with Shelter Movers. He holds a Master of Arts (Anthropology), focusing on Austronesian indigenous societies’ resistance to cultural hegemony.
