“Bill is a man who will get things done. He knows how to make Abbotsford a city where people will feel good about working, living and playing. We have too many new people working here with the new hospital and expansion on the airport who are living elsewhere. Bill will work hard to make these people feel Abbotsford is a safe place to live.”

Dave Holmberg

"With the exception of my Father, no one had a bigger impact on my life as a young man than Dr. Bill MacGregor. Bill is a visionary, whose passion and integrity create an environment of purpose where incredible things can be accomplished."

Dave Johnson
Simon Fraser University Head Football Coach

"He actually cares...I moved to Abby in grade 9... low income family... he waived my football fees, took me shopping for cleats... 15 years later it still moves me.  I say these things because they are the truth.  If I hadn't had football in my life all those years ago, I may have gone down that wrong path like the rest of the fools whom often find themselves facing a gun barrel lately...not this boy.  I have family and plan to see my children grow and travel the world like I never did....thanks to you, Mr. MacGregor, for your direction from me and my family and their future families!"

Michael D. Paddy

"I worked with the PAC at Rick Hansen Secondary when Dr. MacGregor was principal. He always valued the parents' opinions and welcomed us to attend many school planning events. He really made the school a dynamic place for my kids to attend while also making me a comfortable part of their education."

Charlene Neufeld

“I learned from working with Bill that in times of adversity a leader steps to the forefront. Conversely, in good times, the leader lets those on his team be spotlighted.”

Kevin Watrin
Teacher and Head Football Coach Mission Secondary

"Bill MacGregor has played a large role in my life, and many others in the Abbotsford Community. As a coach, teacher, and school principal, Mac positively influenced a number of Abby Senior Grads to believe in themselves and achieve accomplishments beyond their wildest dreams. His strong leadership and support have helped me both personally and professionally."

Lance McDonald

“What has impressed me most with the leadership of Bill MacGregor is the passion he brings to his work. He is committed to positive change and has the courage to move beyond the challenges along the path. It is this passion and commitment that will make Dr. MacGregor an outstanding servant of our city.”

Jay Pankratz

"Dr. MacGregor helped me believe the best about myself while also encouraging me to work to my potential. I always felt his office door was open to me if I ever needed guidance."

Matt Thiessen
Former Rick Hansen Secondary student, Air Force Football player, and current real estate agent with Little Oak Realty

“A most fascinating gentleman - take some time to meet and speak with him. An intriguing man with much wisdom and kindness that leaves you feeling you have met a great friend.”

Moneka Huizenga

"You'll always be coach Mac to me, and you should know that you left an indelible mark on my life for which I am grateful. I trust you'll stand up for truth and for the common sense that you're famous for. Don't let the bureaucrats off the hook, but rather hold them to the same standard of expectation you held your students and athletes to, which spurred us on to great things. When 'iron sharpens iron' some sparks are going to fly and I believe you are just the man to do it."

"Coach, I wish you all the best in your quest for public office.  Your integrity, loyalty, tenacity and compassion are exactly what the world of politics needs.  I hope Abbotsford City Council is just an appetizer to the main course.  You already have my vote for Premier of B.C.  Enjoy the ride."
