Posted 2019-07-03

We are very pleased to announce that after a thorough search, interview and selection process, Michael McDonald has been hired as the Communications Coordinator for L’Arche Canada.

Michael is an author and the filmmaker behind the L’Arche International docu-series, As I Am. Over the years, Michael has had the good fortune of living alongside people with intellectual disabilities in 19 countries, and he worked as a house assistant in L’Arche France and L’Arche Kenya. His background in communications, storytelling, research in the field of disability studies, non-profit leadership, and his years of living L’Arche in many cultures will equip him well to engage us all in the development and implementation of our communications strategy.
