Witness Testimony

Dr. Kyle Grice, a chiropractor from Ontario with a Master’s degree in Integrative Population Health, testified about harms he observed during COVID-19 measures, including family health decline due to facility closures and delayed medical care, as well as stress-related health deterioration among patients in his practice. He stated that these experiences motivated him to engage in community meetings across Ontario, where individuals who felt excluded from mainstream institutions began organizing mutual support networks and developing local solutions.
He described participation in a National Consensus Conference on COVID Response using a process called Community Network Integration, which brings together experts, stakeholders, public officials, and community members to collaboratively design responses to societal challenges. He testified that these networks continue across Canada, forming leaderless collaborative structures addressing areas such as outbreak response, food security, and local resilience. He referenced concerns within communities regarding the WHO pandemic treaty, international governance initiatives, and perceived top-down policy approaches.
Dr. Grice also discussed involvement in national regenerative agriculture and food security initiatives, including collaborative networks in the poultry sector addressing avian influenza preparedness with participation from industry and government representatives. He emphasized principles of regenerative agriculture focused on ecological cycles and increased productivity per acre. He concluded by expressing optimism that grassroots collaboration can restore trust, cohesion, and problem-solving capacity through locally driven engagement and citizen participation.
