Bauld, Brian Douglas – The trout of White’s White Wilderness Area are breathing a sigh of relief as we sadly announce the death of Brian Douglas Bauld, on February 5th, 2026, surrounded by family, in Twin Oaks Memorial Hospital.
Born in Halifax, raised in Armdale, he was the son of the late H. S. Donald Bauld and Myrna (Hunter) Bauld. He graduated from Halifax West High School. During his school years, Brian’s love of hockey began and he was the youngest player in the notorious Suburban Hockey League for the Bay Road Rangers where he more than held his own. After studying Commerce at Dalhousie University, he joined his father in business, Bauld Agencies Ltd., as a sporting goods manufacturer’s agent, travelling the Atlantic Provinces for over 32 years. He truly valued his client relationships and became lifelong friends with many of his customers.
Brian was first and foremost an outdoorsman and avid sports fisherman. His passion for fly fishing took him to many salmon rivers throughout Nova Scotia, Newfoundland and Labrador. He relished fly fishing trout in lakes around the eastern shore of Nova Scotia above all.
In later years, Brian joined Stock Transportation as a driver, trainer, and safety supervisor before he retired in 2009 to devote his energies to his seaside property in East Jeddore.
Brian is survived by his wife of 54 years, Sandra (Mitchell) Bauld; daughters, Hali Bauld (Edward Parker) and Jodi Newland; grandson, Simon Rostis; brother, Donald Bauld (Xiaofei); sisters-in-law, Anne Bauld and Shirley Warner; aunts, Betty Freeman, Montreal; and Ann Hunter, Halifax; as well as many cousins, nieces and nephews.
We acknowledge, with profound gratitude, the excellent and compassionate care of the Musquodoboit Harbour Continuing Care Nursing Team for 18 months; nurses of VGH Cancer Care 11th and 4th floor; Dr. N. Buckley (Dr. Baker-locum); Dr. J. Duplisea; Dr. J. Surujballi and Nurse Sarah (NSCC), and finally, the nursing staff and Dr. Cormier in Twin Oaks who provided care in his last days.
A time of remembrance will be held later in the spring.
