There’s a good chance that you haven’t heard about Don MacDougall, but he is the person most credited by many for Toronto’s Major League Baseball franchise while he was the President of Labatt’s Breweries, where he led the company from third place in market share to first place.
He was also closely involved with the creation of the Montreal Grand Prix and the Labatt Brier.
He has been a serial entrepreneur including being the owner of Novatronics, a company with some involvement in the development of the Canadarm.
He recently returned to his home province of PEI where he purchased the Mill River Resort and Eagles Glenn near Cavendish.
He led the transformation of Slemon Park in Summerside after the closure of its military base to a thriving business park with more than $400 million in exports.
He is a member of the Canadian Baseball Hall of Fame and the PEI Business Hall of Fame.
He is also a past Chancellor of UPEI where their School of Business is named after him.
This is an amazing story about MacDougall’s business success and community involvement.
