Rob, a resilient individual who faced relentless bullying for 11 years, co-founded BullyingCanada in 2006 at the age of 17 after finding no support from existing organisations. His unwavering dedication to creating a safe space for bullied youth led to the establishment of a groundbreaking national 24/7 helpline service. In recognition of his outstanding efforts, Rob was awarded the Order of New Brunswick at the age of 21.Hailing from Fredericton, Rob passionately handles daily administrative and fundraising tasks, recruits and trains volunteers, and continues to provide support on the helpline, ensuring that no call for help goes unanswered. As a distinguished member of the Order of New Brunswick, Rob was also honoured with The Queen Elizabeth II Platinum Jubilee Medal (New Brunswick) for his exceptional contributions to the province and the lives of countless young people.
Lex joined BullyingCanada in 2022. Bringing her extensive experience in administration, event coordination, and sales, Lex has quickly become an integral part of our team. She manages Rob’s schedule and responsibilities, deals with quoting and suppliers, vets callers and handles volumes of administrative email, prepares and sends correspondence and fundraising appeals, maintains our donor database, handles invoices, and assists in the sourcing and recruitment of volunteers and their scheduling – all with a can-do attitude and a smile!
Katie met Rob at age 14, when she had been so badly bullied at school that her parents homeschooled her to keep her safe. She and Rob set up BullyingCanada.ca – a forum where bullied kids could lean on each other for help. She has led many of our Empowering Youth Workshops and writes reviews of many books on bullying. Katie has a certificate in Criminal Psychology and Behaviour.
