Reid is a Software Engineer working for an Ottawa-based tech company, and has been a member of the Rotaract Club of Ottawa for six years, serving as treasurer for his fifth year. He originally moved to Ottawa in 2016 from Yellowknife, NT to study at the University of Ottawa. In Yellowknife, Reid was the vice president and president of his high school Interact club. After completing his degree he decided to stay in Ottawa after falling in love with the city. When he’s not working, he loves getting outdoors and taking advantage of what the Ottawa Valley has to offer, or if he’s feeling a little lazier, he can be found watching TV and cross stitching.
