The Columbia Coast Mission (CCM) was founded in 1915 by the Rev. John Antle, with a mandate to minister to the physical, spiritual and social needs of the residents of the remote areas of coastal British Columbia. From 1944 to 1961 the CCM had a base in Whaletown from which the patrol boat "Rendezvous" visited the isolated communities and settlers of Cortes and neighboring islands. Douglas made some trips with CCM patrol boats in the early 1950s and wrote articles about the CCM for "The Log" and other periodicals.
