Board of Directors
Meet our volunteer board members!
President
Samuel MacDonald
Sam is an aging perpetual fledgling committed to dipping his toes into as many crafts, disciplines, and metaphysical outlooks he can while ultimately mastering nothing. From philosophy, to alternative energy, to real estate appraisal with countless hobbies sprinkled in between, Sam has always yearned for a space where disparate skills come together.
Treasurer
Michael Aide
Recently new to Yellowknife, Michael was born in Abuja, Nigeria, and raised across Canada in Montreal, Wainwright, Kingston and Ottawa. Driven by curiosity and a natural tinkerer, Michael has explored many hobbies —photography, textile crafts, woodworking, home improvement and refurbishing anything he can get his hands on. Michael's goal with joining the board is to help make makerspace more accessible to the community and contribute prior board experience and his expertise as a cost controller to his role as Treasurer.
