You have been a cornerstone of this community for me. You always showed me guidance, kindness, and integrity. I love and will miss your sense of humor and sense of fun. I always knew that I could turn to you for any help I needed. There will be something missing without you here.  A gap that can't be filled- Irreplaceable!!! xoxo JEN

You ARE an inspiration and a support.  There is no way to transfer that role to another person, so I will hold on and hope that you will remain even as you reach to an exciting shift.  It was not the work you did, but the way you did it that I will miss, and I know that others are now benefiting from the amazing energy you bring everywhere you travel.

Your infectious shining presence at the Kootenay co op 26 years ago continued to shine on my life at SDH..and the warmth, dedication, honesty, enthusiasm and overall excellence in all you do has been a beacon of light for me. I look forward to the next chapter for you and will continue to appreciate your work long after you have left.  May the world of theatre be a continual source of deep inspiration and joy.
Love Diane

Michelle you have been an inspirational leader for the highschool and every corner of our learning community - through some of the most difficult moments you have shown empathy, integrity and professionalism.

Michelle printed currency with her ability to see the good work people were doing and exhort them for it.

I am so excited for you. Your approach to life is inspiring and reminds me of Mary Oliver's Summer Day.

Godspeed as you dive deeply into your wild and precious life.

I first came to SDH at the 2013 Collab and was brand-new, understanding very little about what this organization was all about, I saw Michelle Buck work her magic at that Collab, pulling us all and every little detail together with humility and humour. Then I got to work more closely with Michelle at camps in 2016 and am forever inspired by her leadership!

I have not had the opportunity to get to know you but I can tell that you are a deeply caring and lovely person. It is truly my loss that I will not have much chance to get to know you better :0)

I will miss your calm, thoughtful leadership at SDH, and your wonderful sense of fun in meetings.

I'm so happy that you are able to pursue a dream and wish you every success and happiness in your new role. It's our loss and the theatre's gain for sure!

See you in Squamish!

Huge hugs!!!

Your fun, sense of humour and common sense will be missed. We all have to go to Collab to get our Michelle fixes now :)
The biggest prize you gave us all was yourself :)

First be kind. Then be smart. Then if you can, be funny.

Michelle, you have been a wildly successful mentor to many of us for your ability to do these three things aptly, and to always hold them in that important order.

In the serious work of radicalizing youth education you have expanded hearts and minds about how to carry that important work forward - united in big, loving laughs whenever possible.

Thanks for the laughs and your gorgeous, shining example of how to BE.

- love suz.

I have come to appreciate you tremendously over the last couple of years! Your calm, yet determined demeanor matched only by your humor and grace, are a gift to us all!  I appreciate your experience and skill.  You are such a valuable person!
Thank-you for your influence, and it is (hopefully), with grace that we will let you spread you wings and enjoy new scenery!  :-)
Sincerely,
Beth

The first time I saw Michelle Buck was around 1986 . She was walking by me in a corridor of the View Street Building (a place full of activist groups) in Victoria. With her demeanor and look; on a mission, in black dress, red hair, doc martens,- I thought, "that is somebody special". Years later, when we actually met, that first impression was more than confirmed.

You are one strong woman. You have really been a rock to me through so much of these past three years that I have had the priviledge of being a part of SDH.  You have made me feel welcomed, opened opportunities for me to grow, and shared your gratitude with me which made me want to stay with SDH for life.  You are also helarious and know how to make me smile when I need it the most. Thank you for your love and light.  Here's to change!
