Hockley’s Shannon MacNeil keeps her bags packed. She’s ready to take off whenever and wherever her skills are needed around the world.
A paramedic for the past 19 years, MacNeil is a member of GlobalMedic, a Toronto-based agency that provides frontline relief efforts in the wake of natural disasters.
“I’ve always wanted to volunteer and go to another part of the world,” she said, explaining she joined the group last fall. “I can’t praise GlobalMedic enough.”
