“Volunteering has always been important to me and blending my past experiences in healthcare and volunteering, made participating on the board of directors for the Wolfe Island Community Medical Centre a perfect way to contribute to the community.”
Sheila MacDonald
Sheila’s mother, Rita Greenwood, was born on Wolfe Island to a family that arrived here 200 years ago. Rita married father Leo MacDonald (Kingston) who was in mining and so her family grew up in Northern Ontario. The family came to Kingston/Wolfe Island every summer to visit with relatives. Because of the deep family connection, the Island is a very special place for Sheila and her siblings. Sheila graduated from the University of Toronto and then joined the Royal Bank of Canada for 38 years. The last 10 years of her career she was the Director of Human Resource Services for Canada, UK, Europe and Asia with a staff of 250 people. In 2015 she retired and within a couple of years with her husband Sandy, made the decision to move to Wolfe Island and ultimately purchased and renovated a home here in 2017, moving in 2019.
“It is important to me, now that I am retired, to give back to my community and so I joined the Board of the Medical Clinic. I very much enjoy being able to contribute to the well-being of my fellow Island residents.”
