About This Speaker: Meghan Gardiner

Meghan Gardiner is an actor, playwright, and long‑standing advocate for violence prevention. Her advocacy began in 2003 with her acclaimed play ‘Dissolve’, inspired by her personal experience of being drugged and sexually assaulted. Meghan went on to perform the show 850 times across North America at conferences, universities and high schools, using theatre to spark conversations about consent, bystander intervention, and trauma‑informed support.

Today, Meghan speaks to every graduating class at the police academy in British Columbia, training future law‑enforcement professionals on how to respond effectively and empathetically when someone discloses a sexual assault. This frontline work has given her unique insight into what a supportive first response looks like — and how easily unintentional harm can occur when responders aren’t prepared.

Meghan now brings these lessons to the corporate world, helping organizations understand how critical it is for HR departments to respond with clarity, empathy, and integrity when an employee reports harassment, abuse, or assault. Her keynotes and training sessions equip leaders with practical tools to strengthen trust, improve workplace safety, and support better retention and productivity.

Alongside her advocacy, Meghan has built a vibrant acting career on stages across the country, appearing on screen in The Good Doctor, Firefly Lane, The Flash, Family Law, Supergirl, Smallville, and numerous Hallmark films. Combining storytelling with survivor‑informed expertise, she empowers audiences to foster resilience, accountability, and meaningful cultural change.
