After pursuing a career in the RCMP and working in several Arctic communities and Whitehorse, he was posted to Masset three years ago."It's been the best posting that I've had in my career from a personal standpoint," he said. "It's very rewarding, to renew friendships and acquaintances with people you went to school with."Sgt. MacDonald said he has seen some really positive changes in the Massett area over the past few years, and hopes that the communities will continue working together on programs for young people.Sgt. MacDonald's new job is a promotion. He will be a Staff Sergeant and the detachment commander at the Burns Lake RCMP."It's a larger detachment with a larger population," he said. "A lot of people say it's going to be a busier location."
