Honouring Duncan McCallum: A Legacy of Excellence
It is with deep sadness that we share the passing of Duncan McCallum, a beloved member of the Langara community. Duncan is survived by his wife Anne, children, Renée, Tracy (David), Jake (Katie), grandchildren Maryn, Holden, Maddox, Duke and Beau, and sister Sheila who cherish his memory and the profound impact he had on countless lives.
Duncan was known for his dedication to Athletics and Kinesiology. He was Langara’s first and longest-serving Director of Athletics (1970-1994) and dedicated much of his life to the college and its students. As the men’s basketball coach from 1970 to 1991 and an instructor in the Kinesiology Department, Duncan's contributions shaped one of the most successful athletic programs in Canada. He was a proud member of the Basketball BC Hall of Fame and the Canadian Collegiate Athletic Association (CCAA) Hall of Fame. In 2020, he was named one of Langara’s Emeriti, recognizing his distinguished service.
To honour Duncan's memory, we invite you to make a donation that will go towards the Duncan McCallum Athletic Scholarship. This award recognizes student-athletes for their athletic achievements and scholastic excellence, continuing Duncan's mission of supporting and inspiring future generations. Your generosity will help maintain Duncan's legacy and assist student-athletes, a cause he cared deeply about.
We thank you for your kindness in helping us honour Duncan's memory and support future student-athletes.
