Mike Layton

Race to Rescue

BIO

Mike Layton is Vice-President of Philanthropy at Second Harvest. He previously served as Chief Sustainability Officer for York University and spent 12 years on Toronto City Council, where the Toronto Star dubbed him the Council's ""Environmentalist-in-Chief"" for his climate leadership.

Outside the boardroom, Mike is an adventurous home cook. He is an avid pickler and canner, and he even took home a purple ribbon for his spicy zucchini relish at the Royal Winter Fair. He also finished dead last at Mad About Marmalade in 2013 with a Campari grapefruit marmalade that one judge deemed ""too boozy."" Mike has no regrets.
