Habitat For Humanity Vancouver Island North is losing its leader.
Executive director, Pat McKenna, is moving back to his hometown of Antigonish, Nova Scotia so he can be closer to family.
While his official date of resignation is July 8th, McKenna is staying on with Habitat VIN until a successor is found.
Under McKenna’s six years of leadership, Habitat VIN rapidly increased its families served through affordable homeownership.
Out of the 39 homes built since the group was founded in 2004, 25 were completed during his tenure.
McKenna had several different roles outside of Habitat, including Town of Comox Councillor.
He has also worked with the Campbell River and District Coalition to End Homelessness, Comox Valley Economic Development Society, Vancouver Island Music Fest Society, Strathcona Sunrise Rotary Club, Courtenay Little Theatre, Rainbow Youth Theatre, or Three Legged Dog Productions.
