He served on the advisory board of the Kitchener- Waterloo Hospital, was a member of the board of directors of Freeport Hospital, and acted as Chairman of Federated Charities and as a member of the Waterloo Relief Board. He also served his turn on the executive of the North Waterloo Medical Society. He was president in 1924 of the Young Men's Club of Waterloo, belonged to the Grand River Country Club, Kitchener Waterloo Kiwanis Club, and Westmount Golf and Country Club, in which he served as president. He was a charter and life member of the Waterloo Masonic Lodge, and a former member of the Board of Knox Presbyterian church. He was also a member of Alpha Omega Alpha medical fraternity.
