Our Team
Colette McDermott
CEO-Founder / Medical Laboratory Assistant
I moved to the Prince Albert community 23 years ago from the small Northern Manitoba town of Flin Flon. I truly enjoy everything that northern Saskatchewan has to offer. I am passionate about travel and love to play slow pitch in the community. I previously spent 12 years in the financial banking industry, then 10 years in health care in clinics and hospitals. I have achieved over 29 years in customer service excellence, a Medical Laboratory Assistant certificate, and a Business Education Program Diploma. It had always been my childhood dream to be an entrepreneur. I am now in year 10 of successfully living the vision with my own company.
