Quote - Theodore Murray

“There is so much happening at TGV at the moment. Our public engagement has never been higher, and our communities continue to demand more colour, more diversity, more participation. So we’re raising the bar to give it to them, and call for action at the same time. The question is: would you like to join us?”

– Theodore Murray, TGV Events Manager and TDOV Campaign Co-Manager.
