By David MacDonald M att and Nick were made for the RECC. Matt, a 33-year old father of four young daughters, hails from St. Martins, New Brunswick. He earned a degree in Sport and Exercise Psychology at the University of New Brunswick and became a high performance coach with the Alberta Sport Development Centre where he took-on an active role in the opening of Canada’s largest recreation complex, Macdonald Island Park, in Fort McMurray, Alberta. Since returning to the Maritimes, Matt has been a part of the management team at the Moncton YMCA, a teacher at Eastern College, and the inaugural General Manager at the PotashCorp Civic Centre in Sussex, New Brunswick. “As far as the RECC goes, for me professionally-speaking, it’s very fulfilling to see an event well- executed and a patron walk away with an experience that they will have for the rest of their life.” “I’ve always felt that my community, wherever that’s been, is extremely important to our quality of life as a family. In Truro, there is a rising sense of pride and innovations that is fostering positive growth and new opportunities for our children. We enjoy all of the benefits that a rural community has to offer with a great central location and quick access to the urban markets,” Matt explained. “As far as the RECC goes, for me professionally-speaking, it’s very fulfilling to see an event well-executed and a patron walk away with an experience that they will have for the rest of their life but personally, it is even more fulfilling to witness members of our community improve their health. To me, regardless of the challenges that we all face in this complex industry, the simple success stories of those in our community who are reaping the rewards of our teams’ efforts and improv- ing their wellbeing is what keeps me motivated during cha lenging times.”
