Biographical history
George Scott Wallace was born in Leven, Fife, Scotland, Aug 9, 1929. He attended the Edinburgh University Medical School from 1947 to 1952. He was in general practice at Middlesex, England, 1954-1957, after which he emigrated to Canada and established a practice in Sarnia, Ontario. He moved to Victoria in 1961, where he opened a general practice.
Wallace served as an alderman from 1967 to 1969 on the Oak Bay Municipal Council. In 1969 he was elected as a Social Credit MLA. He joined the provincial Progressive Conservative Party in 1972 and was reelected twice under that banner. He became leader of the party in 1973 and held that post until his retirement from politics in December 1977 in order to return to his medical practice.
He served as medical advisor to the Right to Die Society in the mid 1990s.
