With the National Trust for Canada, James spearheaded a governance review to help the organization further its cause of heritage preservation. With Creative Kids Canada, James helped the young charity remove financial barriers to arts activities for children and youth. In his various roles on boards and committees, James has always sought to stimulate thought in others, foster collegiality, and build shared visions.

As a software development professional working for iQmetrix, James found a good fit in a company that seeks to create an environment where people can bring their whole selves to their work and contribute to their communities. With their support, James has facilitated community engagement through organizing sponsorships, fundraising, and volunteering. 

Saskatchewan’s long history of entrepreneurship, volunteerism, civic engagement and multiculturalism is an example that James seeks to honour and support. Though still early in his career, he has continued to grow in respect for how visionary thinking and strong strategic decisions can have a large positive impact on a community.
