He was educated there and received his medical training at the University of Toronto, and in Vienna, Berlin, London, Edinburgh and Glasgow. He began his practice in Lucknow and Seaforth, Ontario before coming to Calgary, Alberta in 1889. He served as chief physician for many years for the western division of the Canadian Pacific Railway (CPR). He was a member and president of the Canadian Medical Society, a member of the Calgary Medical Society, and he was an Oddfellow and a mason. Dr. Mackid served as a school trustee in 1892-1893.
