Douglas & McIntyre

The company, originally called J.J. Douglas Ltd. and co-founded by Jim Douglas and Scott McIntyre, was established in 1970 and published its first title in the fall of 1971.

In 1980, the company formed an innovative alliance with Patsy Aldana and Groundwood Books, the leading children's publisher. In that same year Jim Douglas retired and Scott McIntyre became President, CEO, and majority shareholder.
