Every week, I will be profiling an extraordinary human being who lives in our community. If you know someone who is doing something interesting with their life, I want to hear about it. Send me an email at <\/strong><\/em>laura.maclean@doppleronline.ca<\/strong><\/a>.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

He hasn\u2019t lived here very long, but Bryan MacKenzie is going above and beyond for our little town.<\/p>\n

He\u2019s an extremely generous person, not to mention charismatic and selfless. Within 30 minutes of me being at his house, I walked out with two boxes of cookies and a Tupperware container full of homemade goodies.<\/p>\n

He\u2019s the kind of guy who counts his blessings every day. He\u2019s grateful for his health and what he has, and that includes not having to work and having some extra time on his hands.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m so lucky that I moved here,\u201d the 60-year-old who originally hails from Toronto tells me. \u201cMy neighbours are my best friends. I think I live in the best neighbourhood in all of Huntsville.\u201d<\/p>\n

A few years ago, Bryan moved to Huntsville from the city with his partner, David Harkness. Bryan chose the house for its property and his partner fell in love with the view. (I can attest, it truly is stunning!) They made the big move in order to take care of Bryan’s mother-in-law, whose health was declining and she had to move into a nursing home.<\/p>\n\n\t\t
