Meet our Full Time staff
Dave Boutilier - Executive Director
Dave hails from Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia, but has called Fort McMurray his home for almost 20 years, so he knows quite a bit about this community, and loves to help newcomers with their questions.
Dave has been with SAKC in various roles since 2020, and has been the organizations ED since 2023.
He loves to spend time with his wife and two dogs, and yes, he will show you tons of pictures of the dogs if you ask.
Crystal Parsley - Operations Manager
Crystal, with over 20 years in the hospitality sector is the person you want to talk to when it comes to booking King's Lounge, or engaging SAKC in any of our for profit ventures. Crystal has been a resident of Fort McMurray for almost 20 years, spending her time with her musican husband and wonderful cat.
Crystal is a creative, who likes to focus on creating decor for events and holidays.
Justine Lim - Supervisor, Operations & Food Services
Justine is a Filipino Business Administration – Management graduate who now finds herself in the middle of everything at the lounge. She brings a sharp eye for detail and a passion for organization to her role at the lounge, where she handles everything from day-to-day operations. But she’s not all spreadsheets and schedules – her creative side shows up in her drawings, problem-solving, and constant need to learn something new.
Off the clock, she's either doodling, gaming, or deep into yet another totally necessary rewatch of The Office or Friends. If you like games, snacks, or yelling at screens together – you've found your person.
