Silicon Valley’s Paul Gauthier (BSc (Computing Science)’94) has been revealed as Nova Scotia Nature Trust’s (NSNT) $3.5 million mystery benefactor.

Gauthier’s donation will help the organization permanently protect 100 wild islands on the Eastern Shore.

While the gift was originally made anonymously, the NSNT hopes that releasing Gauthier’s name will encourage more donations.
