The appointment takes effect immediately.

He is on the Board of EasyPark (Chair of their Governance Committee), Truvera Trust Corporation (Chair of their Board), Frontfundr (Chair of their Audit Committee) and past Chair of the Board of Valhalla International Games Studio (a Japanese video game producer).
Mr. Macdonald is passionate about community service. He chairs the Simon Fraser University ("SFU") Beedie Business Dean's External Advisory Board and chairs the SFU UniverCity Real Estate Trust. He is a past member of SFU's Board of Governors. He served on other non-profit boards including Arts Umbrella (immediate past Chair of their Foundation) and the Hong Kong Canada Business Association (past national Chair).
