N. Shore doctor honored with

Order of Canada appointment

LONG-TIME North Shore
resident Dr. Alexander
Pinkerton has been ap-
pointed a Member to the
Order of Canada, the Gov-
ernor General of Canada
announced recently.

Pinkerton — a West Vancouver
resident since 1959 — was among
75 appointees named by Gov.
Gen. Ray Hnatyshyn.

“feel very honored, and sur-
prised, at the appointment,’’ said
Pinkerton from his Vancouver
medical practice. ‘‘! had no idea
that I had beeu nominated.’ -

Pinkerton, 69, was the first
trained specialist in physical medi-
cine and rehabilitation in B.C.
when he came to the province in
1953. :

A year later he was named med-
ical director of Vancouver’s G.F.
Strong rehabilitation

centre, a-

post he held for 20 years.

During the 1960s Pinkerton was
one of the pioneers of wheelchair
sports in Canada, serving as med-
ical support staff that worked
with the Canadian Para-Olympic
and Wheelchair Olympic teams.

He was also responsible. for
medical support and planning of
Rick Hansen's ‘‘Man-in-Motion”’
world tour.

He currently is a board member
of the Rick Hansen Foundation.

As chairman of the Health
Planning Council of B.C. — a
position ke held for seven years —
he .was a strong proponent of

seat-belt legislation.

B.C. consequently became the
first province in Canada to pass
such a law.

All 75. appointees to the Order
of Canada will take part in an in-
vestiture ceremony in Ottawa in
April.
