UPFRONT | Places & Faces Anniversary selfies Farewell to a friend Donald William MacKenzie Jr ., a good friend to the chiropractic community in Ontario, passed away on January 10, 2016 at the North Bay Regional Health Centre at the age of 70. He is survived by his loving wife Joyce, daughter Colleen, and stepchildren Cheryl and Todd. MacKenzie spent much of his career servicing chiropractic tables and equipment throughout Ontario. In speaking to his many colleagues over the last few days, his family is comforted by the fact he is well-loved in the community. “He was more of a friend than a service technician,” was how people who knew MacKenzie would describe him. He had the gift of the gab and loved chatting with the doctors and staff. His wife says he would often come home and tell his family about his week. It was evident he truly enjoyed his work. Paying tribute We asked readers to help us commemorate the 20th anniversary of Canadian Chiropractor by taking a selfie with their copy of a past issue of the magazine. Dr. Kathy Wickens (top, left) and Dr. Elizabeth Carter (top, right), owner and associate, respectively, at Chiropractic Care and Longevity Centre in Perth, Ont., hold up a copy from February 2010. Dr. Jerome Fryer (bottom left), from Nanaimo, B.C., picked up his copy of the September 2008 issue where he was featured on the cover. Looking good, Dr. Fryer! “I encourage my patients to take responsibility for their health and do my best to set an example of complete wellness in my own life,” writes Dr. Kimberly Burgis (bottom right) seen here with an April 2008 issue. She has been in practice for 21 years. She graduated from CMCC in 1995, the centennial year of chiropractic. Dr. John (Jay) Triano (left) and Dr. Marion McGregor (centre) were recently honoured with a tribute dinner hosted by the Canadian Memorial Chiropractic College (CMCC). The event was held Feb. 27 at the Sheraton Parkway Hotel in Richmond Hill, Ont. Triano was recognized for his work in reshaping research at CMCC. His experi-ence and drive for innovation helped make CMCC a world leader in chiropractic research. McGregor was cited for championing the “bench to bedside” connection in chiropractic research, empowering research faculty with the tools to ensure that their work is widely understood. Both DCs are widely published and have contributed to a number of books.
