MacAuley was born in Inverness County, Nova Scotia on Cape Breton. He studied medicine at Dalhousie University, and worked as a surgeon in Halifax and practiced medicine in Pictou County for ten years before coming to Edmonton. He ran in the 1906 Edmonton election, and was elected to a one year term as alderman on Edmonton City Council by finishing fifth of twelve candidates. He resigned eight months into his term, on August 6, 1907, and did not re-enter politics thereafter.
