From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Frederick C. Colborne (born: November 14, 1916 died: April 19, 2006) D.F.C., of Calgary, Alberta, Canada, was elected to the Legislative Assembly of Alberta in 1944. In 1944 there were 3 members of the armed forces (army, navy, and air force) elected to the Legislature. These three members did not represent a specific constituency but instead spoke for the men and women serving overseas in the Second World War. These 3 representatives had no political affiliation and sat on the opposition side of the House. Mr. Colborne was the representative of the Air Force.
In 1948 he was elected in the Calgary electoral district as a member of the Alberta Social Credit Party. During his lengthy service as an MLA he also became a member of Cabinet. He was defeated in Calgary Currie in 1971 and retired from politics.
