McDougall attended Glebe Collegiate in Ottawa and went on to earn a Bachelor of Science degree in chemistry from Mount Allison University and a graduate degree from the University of Toronto.[3] McDougall elected not to pursue a career in chemistry, accepting, instead, a position as a grade 3 clerk in the Department of External Affairs.[3] McDougall rose through the ranks of the department, becoming a grade 1 foreign service officer in 1952.[3] In 1958 and 1959 McDougall represented Canada on the trilateral International Control Commission for Vietnam (the other members being India and Poland).[3] Her rapport with these two countries served her well in her subsequent appointments.[7] Between 1961 and 1963 she served as first secretary and later counselor at the Canadian High Commission in India.[3] In 1968 she was appointed ambassador to Poland, becoming the second Canadian woman to serve as an ambassador.[4] Her tenure in Warsaw coincided with a number of crises in the Middle East, including the Six Day War and crises in the Eastern Block, including the Warsaw Pact invasion of Czechoslovakia.[3] McDougall returned to Ottawa in 1971, joining the Privy Council as an assistant secretary.[3] In 1974 she returned to External Affairs as a bureau director general.[3] In 1979 she was appointed deputy minister the Department of National Health and Welfare by Prime Minister Joe Clark.[3] In 1980 McDougall reached the peak of her career in the civil service when Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau picked her to lead the Royal Commission on Conditions of Foreign Service.[3][5] Trudeau specifically directed McDougall to consider "the aspirations of women in Canadian society".[3] In writing her report, McDougall traveled around the world and interviewed sixty percent of the Canadian foreign service and their spouses.[3] After presenting her report in 1981 McDougall retired from public service.[3] She served for some years on the boards of Carleton University and the Royal Ottawa Hospital.[3] In 1987 she married Paul Mayer, a retired Lieutenant Colonel whom she had met in Vietnam three decades earlier.[3] {{s-start}}{{s-dip}}{{succession box|title=Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary to Poland |before=Norman Berlis |after=John Alexander McCordick |years=1968-1971}}{{s-end}} References1. ^{{cite encyclopedia | title=Pamela Ann McDougall | encyclopedia=Canadian Encyclopedia | publisher=Historica Dominion Institute | accessdate=7 April 2013 | author=Holmes, John W. | year=2012 | url=http://www.thecanadianencyclopedia.com/articles/pamela-ann-mcdougall}} 2. ^{{cite web|title=Pamela Ann MCDOUGALL Obituary|url=http://www.legacy.com/obituaries/ottawacitizen/obituary.aspx?pid=176040785|publisher=The Ottawa Citizen|accessdate=11 April 2017}} 3. ^1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 {{cite book | url=https://books.google.com/books?id=cAQ2GVekg8cC&pg=PA62&lpg=PA62 | title=Envoys Extraordinary | publisher=Dundum | author=Weelers, Margaret K. | year=1995 | pages=62–72 | isbn=9781550022414}} 4. ^1 {{cite news | url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=di5gAAAAIBAJ&sjid=o28NAAAAIBAJ&pg=7172,2496070 | title=Canada names Ottawa woman new ambassador to Poland | work=Saskatoon Star-Phoenix | date=20 January 1968 | agency=Canadian Press | accessdate=7 April 2013 | pages=16}} 5. ^{{cite news | url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=a49VAAAAIBAJ&sjid=1D8NAAAAIBAJ&pg=1675,1612136 | title=Former female diplomat heads enquiry into the foreign service | work=The Leader-Post | date=20 October 1980 | agency=Canadian Press | accessdate=7 April 2013 | pages=43}} External links
