The teacher, physician and politician John Duncan MacLean (1873-1948) served as the 20th premier of the Canadian province of British Columbia. MacLean was a doctor in Greenwood when he was elected as a Liberal to the provincial legislature in 1916. Appointed minister of education and provincial secretary, serving in the cabinets of Harlan Carey Brewster and John Oliver, he then went on to become minister of finance in 1924. He became B.C.'s premier after Oliver's death in 1927, but unable to reverse the Liberal government's decline, he lost to the Conservatives in 1928. He served his remaining years as chairman of the Canadian Farm Loan Board. Very good .
