Director: Amanda MacKinnon - amanda@srpei.org

Born and raised in Prince Edward Island, Amanda has lived in Calgary, Alberta for the last 10 years. However, home will always be PEI for her!

Having worked for Parks Canada for several years prior to moving west (that's out west, not up west!), she is a passionate advocate for PEI, and loves telling anyone who will listen just why PEI is so great. Ask her about where to find the best fish and chips, the top flavour of Cows ice cream, or how to best entertain yourself on PEI!
