Founder-Led From the Beginning
Built on a Lifelong Connection to Animals. Driven by a Commitment to Better Aftercare.
Barn Angels Composting Inc. was founded by Wesley and Amelia Therrien, whose shared love of animals and commitment to compassionate, responsible aftercare became the foundation of the corporation.
With roots in the equine industry, veterinary care, and animal welfare, Barn Angels was established to address a critical need for professional, dependable, and environmentally responsible animal aftercare services across Ontario.
Today, the company has grown into a multi-service organization supporting families, veterinary professionals, farms, agricultural operations, municipalities, rescues, and sanctuaries throughout the province.
Despite that growth, Barn Angels remains independently owned, operated, and directly led by its founders, who continue to oversee the corporation’s strategic direction, regulatory responsibilities, and daily operations.
