On June 23, the City of Victoria, with Doug's family, unveiled the commemorative "Doug Hudlin Memorial Way" sign on Higgins Street, just across from National Little League Park.

Doug worked for the City of Victoria but his love was being on the field as an umpire. Amongst many other achievements, he umpired the Canadian Little League Championships five times the Senior Little League World Series twice, and the BC Summer Games in 1988. He was a founder and served as first president of the BC Baseball Umpires Association from 1974 to 1979, and was inducted into the association's hall of fame in 2011. He is remembered for his empathy toward all the young players he umpired for spanning generations of baseball players.

Doug was also a founding director of the BC Black History Awareness Society (BCBHAS). As the great-grandson of the earliest Black settlers in BC (Nancy and Charles Alexander), his family's history inspired his work.
