Donald James was born in Winnipeg, Manitoba on October 8, 1930 to Eddie and Moira James.

As a young boy, Donald spent time with his Aunt Lillian on the James’ family homestead in Charleswood and also with his grandmother on the FitzGerald farm in Grenfell, Saskatchewan.
Donald had a keen interest in travel and set out on many adventures across the country and around the world. As a teenager, he spent weeks on horseback riding through the Rocky Mountains attending rodeos and playing the role of cowboy. He set off from Winnipeg with pennies in his pocket and traveled overseas on Merchant Navy ships to Russia and countries on the Baltic Sea. From England, he worked his way overland to Malaysia and took a boat to Australia where he cut cane; he worked on farms while exploring New Zealand. Don also traveled through countries such as Nepal, Iran, Iraq, Yugoslavia, India, Tibet and China, bringing home many souvenirs of his journeys and adventures. He wrote many articles documenting his experiences during his travels which were printed in Winnipeg newspapers.
In England, while acting for the BBC and in various films, he met his wife Gillian. They were married in Niagara Falls, N.Y. in 1963 and set up home in Winnipeg. His son Simon was born in 1964, Samantha (in England) in 1965 and Stephen back in Winnipeg in 1967. He and his young family moved to B.C. in 1973 following a few months in England and Wales. Many people across the country followed the family’s boxcar journey from B.C. to Sussex, N.B. where they bought the Dagnino Farm on the Millstream. His fourth child, Matthew, was born in Sussex in 1981.
Donald always considered himself a Westerner but came to love the East and the farm he lived on. He and his wife raised cattle, donkeys and mules on what he referred to as the Great White North Donkey and Mule Company. He built a shop in which he enjoyed working with wood and building things for the house. He completely renovated the old house on the farm, adding a large veranda that the whole family enjoyed. Don and Gillian always had large vegetable gardens, and raised much of their own food.
