He was born in 1917 to Eva and John MacGregor in Folkestone, England. Where his father was serving with the Canadian Army. They returned to Canada in 1919. Alister joined the Imperial Bank of Edmonton at the age of 17 and in 1940 enlisted in the Canadian Army in Calgary and served overseas until 1945, when he and his bride returned to Canada.
