As a longtime SḴŦAḴ/Mayne Island resident and a mother of two young children, Jenn is deeply invested in developing more opportunities for outdoor recreation for the islands youth and the community as a whole.

Now a stay-at-home parent of three, Kathryn Reid's post-secondary education focused largely on Social Justice. She has since spent time coaching youths in all stages of physical and social development, and Kathryn can't wait to help MISC create an inclusive space where anyone can experience sport solo or in a group!
