A Biographical Sketch of
Major James A.H. Church,
D.S.O., M.C.
Royal Engineers
Provincial Land Surveyor
1883-1967

by James F. Doig

Major James A.H. Church had an impact far exceeding the norm in his contribution to Canada, the future of its youth and to the surveying pro­fession. A war hero, a professional surveyor and an educator were but three of his most obvious accomplishments. It was, however, his effect on the lives of all those who met and worked with him, either as professional associates or as students under training, where he made his greatest and most lasting contribution. James Church possessed an intensity, drive and tenacity which when projected through his commanding personality and extraordinary gift of expression, became a powerful force with a profound influence on the students whom he trained and the College of Geographic Sciences which he founded.
