Citizens' Assembly Member Profile

JACK MacDONALD retired 1-1/2 years ago from his post as assistant deputy minister in the B.C. Ministry of Advanced Education and is currently doing some consulting work. "With my whole working life in the federal or provincial government I have a deep interest in government and history," says Jack. "The Assembly is a unique experiment and an opportunity to learn more and share with folks around the province. Then, if it comes to something, that’s all the more interesting." Jack was born in Victoria and lives there now. But he lived in Ottawa for 12 years, as well as three years in the U.S. He moved back to B.C. in 1985. Jack enjoys golfing, travelling, reading, painting and drawing.
