Doug was born in Montreal, Quebec to William and Mary MacGregor. He worked at McGill University as a photographer for the Geography Department. Doug’s career spilled over into other areas of his life when he began taking wedding photos as a hobby. In 1987, he and Alice moved to BC. Here they formed many happy connections as volunteers with the Society of Organized Services (SOS). They also enjoyed square dancing and were active members of several clubs in the mid island area.
The family would like to thank the staff of Arrowsmith Lodge and Dr Henderson for the loving care that they provided to Doug during his last years.
