Dr Thomas Bassett Macaulay (1860-1942), one of Canada’s Scottish sons, is remembered for many things – not least of which is the foundation of the Macaulay Institute in 1930.

Aside from his induction into the Insurance Hall of Fame (in recognition of his landmark presidency of the Sun Life Assurance Company of Canada) or the fact that almost all Holstein cattle carry bloodlines from his original herd, TB Macaulay was also a great humanitarian donating considerable sums of money to many worthy causes both in Canada and his ancestral Scotland.
