Renée Macdonald
Operations Manager
A newcomer to Galiano, and a lifelong west coaster, Renée is delighted to be back in a small community on a beautiful island. And what better way to get to know the community than through it’s vibrant recycling centre? Renée lives by five R’s: reduce, reuse, repurpose, repair & recycle and brings her enthusiasm for these things to serve the Galiano community.
