If there was an all-round nice guy category in our Best of Richmond contest, Dave MacDonald would snag it — proving they don’t finish last. MacDonald grew up in the Maritimes before moving to Richmond in 1984, where he started working for Pathways Clubhouse, a rehabilitation program for people living with mental health challenges. Now living in central Richmond, MacDonald has travelled the world, accrediting other clubhouses. He has worked for Pathways for 30 years, having been the executive director since 2002.
