Dr. Hugh Campbell
Dr. Hugh Campbell was born in Winnipeg, Manitoba in September 1922, graduating from St. John's High School. He attended Queen's University, obtaining his M.D. in 1952. Dr. Campbell held residencies in Toronto Western Hospital in 1958, St. Michael's Hospital in Toronto also in 1958, Toronto's Hospital for Sick Children in 1959, and Vancouver General Hospital in 1959-60. He joined the Trail Regional Hospital staff in 1960.

His achievements include memberships in the West Kootenay Medical Society, North West Urological Society, and British Urological Society.

Dr. Campbell was vice-president of the Trail Senior Smoke Eaters, Warfield Swim Club, West Trail Little League, and the Kiwanis Club. He was also involved with Minor Hockey, the Handicapped Society, BC Swimming Association, and the Karate Club.

Dr. Campbell was the Jimmy Morris Sportsman of the Year in 1988 and also Trail Citizen of the Year in 1991.

Dr. Campbell was a strong supporter of minor sports in our community and was always present at hockey or ball tournaments as a volunteer physician. His dedication to our youth and sports was recognized by all of those he most willingly agreed to assist. His presence is deeply missed, whether at the Hospital, the Arena or the ball park.
