He first became involved in 1976 when his son Brent’s New Glasgow midget team was going to New Brunswick to play in the Maritime basketball finals but was short of funds.“When you knew he was looking after something you just knew things were looked after and going to be done well,” Smith said.“We never had to worry about money to go on trips. There was always a few dollars given to us in our hands to cover meals,” Smith said.

Anse MacDonald made sure that everything he was involved with was done to the best of his ability. - File Photo When New Glasgow High School closed and MacDonald was done organizing high school boys' basketball, North Nova Education Centre named their annual invitational tournament after him.
