Notes |
Whitford VanDusen was born in Tara, Ontario, and attended the University of Toronto. At university he met H. R. MacMillan, who encouraged him to study forestry. VanDusen graduated in Forestry in 1912. From 1913 through World War I, he worked as a forester for the British Columbia provincial government. In 1919, he joined the H. R. MacMillan Export Company as manager. From 1945 to 1949, VanDusen was Senior Vice-President of the company and, following its merger with Bloedel, Stewart and Welch in 1949, was Vice-Chairman until 1955. He was on the Board of Directors of MacMillan Bloedel until his retirement in 1969. VanDusen was also involved in many philanthropic works, including establishing the Vancouver Foundation in 1943 and donating the purchase amount for the old Shaughnessy Golf Course, now VanDusen Botanical Gardens.
