He was prominent in the Victoria community as an author, historian, mountaineer, and activist Trained as an architectural draughtsman, he assisted in the design of St. John's Anglican Church and the James Bay Anglican Hall, and wrote a history of Christ Church Cathedral.

During WWI, the Frontiersmen were involved in raising volunteers for the active army. Longstaff returned to Victoria with the rank of Major.
