Our Team
The pro-life movement in our city exists because of the tireless efforts and dedication of thousands of Torontonians over the years.
To all of the Toronto Right to Life team, both past and present, we couldn’t do it without you.
Thank you!

Michelle Caluag
Executive Director
Michelle Angela Caluag was the former president of the pro-life club at the University of Toronto, where she obtained her Bachelor of Sciences degree and found her passion in reaching the culture on the issue of abortion.
Realizing the need for more people to transform the culture, she decided to work for the pro-life movement after graduating from U of T in 2016 and since then has made it a priority to stand up for the pre-born children and for the vulnerable in our society. She worked for the National Campus Life Network as a Campus Coordinator in 2016 and joined Toronto Right to Life as a Youth Coordinator in 2017. She now serves as the Executive Director of TRTL, with the goal of empowering and equipping communities in Toronto and the GTA to share the truth about abortion and assisted suicide with love and compassion.
Emily Ellis
Office Manager
Emily Ellis graduated in 2017 from George Brown College with a diploma in Baking and Pastry Arts Management. She has worked in the hospitality field and as an office assistant, starting at TRTL in 2019. Emily’s firm desire to be active in the pro-life movement stems from her hope that she can help spare pre-born children from abortion, bring hope and healing to society, and help preserve human dignity. She feels an appreciation and enthusiasm for TRTL’s strategic way of applying science and apologetics to educate, but always with a heart of caring.
Katie Somers
Director of Outreach
Katie Somers has been with Toronto Right to Life since 2016. In 2015, she saw an abortion video that she happened upon through social media and that compelled Katie to focus on pro-life work exclusively, leaving behind her 14-year career as a flight attendant. Seeing the injustice so impacted her that she felt called to share the truth with others. She loves to change hearts and minds on abortion and assisted suicide, and is passionate about this life-saving work.
Josh MacMillan
Director of Operations and Fundraising
Josh MacMillan graduated in 2016 from the University of Waterloo with a B.A. in History and a Minor in Biology. Since graduation, he has been working in the pro-life movement as an activist and educator. Josh is a firm believer that scientific and technological progress, when informed by history, and applied in a way that upholds human dignity, will establish a world that respects human rights for all.
