Aidan Buckley
Originally from Dublin, Ireland, Aidan holds an Honours Bachelors Degree in Journalism from the University of Wolverhampton in England. During his studies, Aidan worked for a number of companies in England including the BBC in London.
Upon completion of his degree, Aidan was hired back to Dublin and began work as a production assistant at Ireland’s national broadcaster RTE. Within three years of being hired, Aidan had risen through the ranks to produce Ireland’s number one daytime television show, becoming the youngest live television producer in the country at that time. He went on to work on a number of other live television events, many of them involving current affairs.
In 2010 Aidan made the move to Vancouver, primarily to gain experience in digital media and worked for a number of companies including Electronic Arts. In 2012 he was hired by Global BC to launch talk shows on their brand new 24-hour news channel BC1. Over the following four years Aidan worked across a number of shows for the broadcaster and was a producer on much of the breaking news coverage on BC1. Aidan also worked on a number of big projects including the 2014 municipal elections for Global BC.
In 2016, Aidan made the move into communications and began working for the B.C. provincial government. He has since been hired into municipal government communications and continues to work in that field. Aidan currently leads Communications & Engagement for the Sunshine Coast Regional District in BC.
