Marit Stiles was born and raised in Newfoundland, outside St John’s. On her family’s small farm she helped tend to goats, chickens, geese and pigs after school and on weekends.
While her family wasn’t political, they would talk around the kitchen table about the issues of the day. These conversations helped Marit develop a strong sense of community, inclusion, and social justice from an early age.
Marit moved to Ontario for university and found a province full of opportunity.
