The Greg Douglas Bursary, originally established in 1988 as the ACRID Bursary, was renamed in June, 2002
as a tribute to the memory of our dear colleague, Greg Douglas.
Greg was a longtime supporter of ASLIA (formerly ACRID) and a truly respected professional in the interpreting Community. Greg modeled exemplary professionalism through his leadership among peers and through his passion for learning. He was a mainstay at MacEwan University (formerly known as Grant MacEwan Community College) American Sign Language-English Interpreting Program (AEIP) as he dedicated much of his volunteer time in the classroom and with practicum students. He inspired students and colleagues alike to share in his dedication to strive for excellence. Greg was also loved and admired by members of the Deaf Community. He was known as one who gave generously and selflessly of his friendship and expertise. Our Community was made richer by Greg’s generous and ever-enthusiastic personality. He will be remembered and respected by all as a role model of a Professional and a Life-long learner.
