He went on to become an instructor at NBCC St. Andrews where he touched the lives of hundreds of students over a 23 year span. Upon starting at NBCC in 1997, Blair quickly began mentoring many students on career choices and the importance of hard work and finding a career they love. This later led to him finishing his career in a college leadership role as a Department Head, having a greater role in shaping the programs and ensuring student
success.
 
Blair thoroughly enjoyed spending time with his wife doing various outdoor activities such as hiking, running and kayaking. Blair also had a long time love affair with sports,cheering on the Canadians and Tiger Woods. He could often be found on the Algonquin Golf Course, with his buddies. His obsession with golf led to multiple club championship wins, most recently in 2016. Blair had a great passion for the game of hockey playing for many years with the Waweig Warriors. He had a deep respect for the game. He mentored many hockey players both during a short time coaching and many years playing alongside each other. His sportsmanship and love for the game was second to none. Above all of his other passions his greatest passion was spending time with his grandkids.
