Homing Summit Award winner nominated for local award

Summit Award winner James McLean has been listed by The Grid TO as one of 49 people who made a difference in Toronto in 2013. 

"As the Animal Care and Control Officer for Toronto Animal Services, James McLean has his paws in a lot of projects—namely, connecting the shelter’s menagerie of dogs, cats, and even members of the fowl family (chickens and ducks) with loving owners. For his efforts—in particular, his skilled home-finding for mill dogs and barn cats—McLean was bestowed with the National Summit Award for Homing in October. Think of him as the city’s foremost expert in mammalian matchmaking."

With this recognition, McLean is up for a Mensch Award (a.k.a. "The Menschies"), the Grid TO's annual collection of notable people who "rocked the city, both downtown and in the 'burbs" over the past year. 

Voting for Mensch Awards is available HERE. Polls close at 11:59 p.m. on Sunday, January 5.
