Bio
Barb MacLean
Bonnie is one of my key "go-to" people in Canada. She has been a leader in moving the Caregiver Agenda forward with a deep understanding of the complexity of issues, the people and the processes that make change possible. Her ability to consume massive amounts of information, analyze it and take action is astounding. She has a unique ability to address tough issues while at the same time being easy-going and a pleasure to work with. I have known Bonnie for almost a decade and she is clearly one of the most competent people I've ever met. If you have the opportunity to work with her, do it.
Jennifer Stevens, B.A.
Bonnie is highly knowledgeable about the Canadian health and social system with a goal to improve the health and quality of life for Canadians. She is a commited worker, highly energetic and focused on the issues and developing innovative solutions.
