Ms. MacLellan is active in the Burlington community and has been involved in several local sports organizations where she has managed rep hockey teams, coached girls' fastball and represented Ontario as coach in the National Girls Baseball championships.

Married for almost 30 years, Ms. MacLellan has two adult children and an active life outside of the office. She enjoys running, golf, team sports, travelling and spending time with her family.
