Early on in his career as a paramedic, Michael (Mike) Mackenzie taught Cape Breton-style step dancing in his free time. Thirty plus years later, Mike is still a man in constant motion, bringing the same level of energy required for the footwork of a jig or reel to his many professional and volunteer roles.
His work as a Senior Primary Care Paramedic with Island EMS (Prince Edward Island’s emergency medical service) doesn’t stop at coming to the aid of Islanders in need. Somehow, Mike manages to squeeze in extra hours to give even more back to the profession he is “deeply proud of”, and to his community, be it fundraising for charitable causes, posting about Island EMS activities on social media, visiting children and youth in schools and daycares, participating in parades or doing interviews with local media.
