"Toronto has been cultivated as a music city and so there is dedicated funds from the provincial government to build it as such," said Rachel Wang of Evoke Creatives.

Rachel Parent | 20 | Toronto | GMO Educator/Food Activist | SDGs: 2, 3, 12
Rachel Parent led her first march calling for genetically modified ingredients to be identified on labels when she was 13 years old. Since then, she’s become a major force in the GMO labelling movement and a globally sought-after speaker who engages thousands to think critically about their food choices (including CBC host Kevin O’Leary in a punchy live debate when she was just 14). In addition to founding Kids Right to Know, she’s now the youth director of Regeneration International, a global network for regenerative agriculture and land use practices, and founder of Gen-Earth, an educational platform designed to inspire youth to take action through filmmaking and activism. Her advice to young people looking to hold corporations accountable? “Don’t be disheartened by their antics to bring you down.” She adds that “constructive dialogue and putting in place action plans that corporations can participate in is a way of not only holding them accountable but making sure they’re transitioning to systems that [contribute to] social good.” Rachel Parent Interview with Corporate Knights](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/OJoxyNddYY4/mqdefault.jpg)
