John Macfie

John Macfie (1925–2018) was an amateur photographer, local historian and writer. Originally from Dunchuch, Ontario, Macfie moved to Sioux Lookout in 1950 to become a trap management officer with the Department of Lands and Forests. He later moved to Gogoma where he worked as a fish and wildlife supervisor, before returning to Parry Sound in 1960. He later became a columnist for the Georgian Bay Beacon and the Parry Sound North Star. This is the first major exhibition of his photography.
