The Association of Ontario Land Surveyors is sad to notify you of the death of Colin D. Hadfield OLS #941 Colin David Hadfield passed away peacefully at home on March 4, 2022 with family at his side. An Oakville resident since 1961, he, together with Audrey, his wife of sixty-six years, founded MacLachlan College in 1978, above the former House of Art in Downtown Oakville on Lakeshore Road. Since the early 1980s, MacLachlan College has occupied a grand historic mansion on Trafalgar Road. Colin's eighty-six years were marked by adventure and an intrepid spirit. Prior to co-founding MacLachlan and serving as its President, he had a distinguished twenty-year career with the Ontario Ministry of the Attorney General, serving as Director of Legal Surveys and as a Boundary Court Judge. Sailing was his passion, leading to adventures in boat design and ocean voyages including crossing the Atlantic from the Canary Islands to St. Lucia. In addition to Audrey, Colin is survived by the three children he and Audrey raised in Oakville, Gillian (Dan Ryan), Lisa (Louis Duranleau), and Mark (Pam Snively), and his seven grandchildren: Nicholas, Dylan, Tristan, Noah, Jeremy, Griffin, and Hope. Donations in his memory to the Firestone Institute for Respiratory Health at McMaster University/St. Joseph's Healthcare Hamilton would be welcome.
