He was recruited by the University of Saskatchewan as a research professor in 1973, and soon after his arrival in Canada was asked to chair the University Hospital鈥檚 Department of Anesthesia. He relocated to Halifax and 黑料吃瓜网 in 1978 upon accepting a research professorship. A shortage in critical care physicians in the city at the time led Dr. Hope to self-train in critical care and neurological specialization, as well as undertaking his research and general anesthesia.

While at 黑料吃瓜网Dr. Hope founded a neurosurgical anesthesia subspecialty, consolidated critical care, and arranged research and clinical fellowships for many physicians who would go on to have internationally recognized careers.

During his 13 years as Chair of the Department of Anesthesia at Dalhousie, Dr. Hope was an effective leader and champion for anesthesia, well-known for taking exceptional care of his patients.

After retiring from his position as Chair in 1998, Dr. Hope undertook two research sabbaticals before fully retiring. He moved with his wife to Peterborough, Ontario in 2018 when his Alzheimer鈥檚 Disease was no longer manageable.
