In 1952, newly-graduated Dr. Donald Watt and his wife June, a nurse and volunteer, camped their way from Toronto to British Columbia to take responsibility for a small United Church hospital on the Queen Charlotte Islands (now Haida Gwaii), spending $63 on gas and $30 on food. This began 38 years of medical mission work.

Dr. Watt died in his sleep, Dec. 29, 2018, in Abbotsford, B.C. having used his 94 years well, providing medical care and support in places like Bella Bella, Bella Coola, Hazelton and later, also in Alberta, Manitoba and Newfoundland when he was made United Church medical superintendent for all Canada.

Early on, he added organizing and recruiting skills to his medical training as he helped these communities build or update hospitals and found qualified staff, doctors, nurses, and other badly needed personnel.

Adventures arose: reaching small island villages or logging camps often included using plane, boat, truck and/or hiking through bush. But, he would tell you with a big smile, fishing was excellent and people were welcoming. He was adopted into the Nuxalk (Bella Coola) Nation and given the names Nooskumiich (One who heals with his hands) and Nenetsmlayc (One who brings back to life).

Donald and June Watt had four children, David, George, Victoria and Elizabeth. June died in 2008 in Vancouver. Dr. Watt was the youngest of seven children of a United Church minister and his wife who joined the denomination at church union in 1925.

(More of Dr. Watt’s story is included in the book Healing in the Wilderness by Rev.  Bob Burrows)
