Greg Cook is a white settler who has lived most of his adult life on the Dish With One Spoon Territory: the lands of the Anishinaabe, Mississaugas and Haudenosaunee. He holds an Honours BA in History and Political Science from the University of Toronto.

Greg has been a drop-in and outreach worker in downtown Toronto for almost 12 years, and at Sanctuary since 2009. Greg partners with other community groups and agencies to advocate for more just and equitable policies in Toronto. He is on the steering committee of the Shelter and Housing Justice Network, and he volunteers for the Toronto Homeless Memorial. Greg was part of a group of activists who agitated for a coroner’s inquest into the deaths of people without housing. He has worked on two documentaries: Bursting at the Seams about the housing crisis and What World Do You Live In about police brutality.

To relax, Greg walks downtown streets and remote wooded trails.
