Edmonton municipal election, 1945
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The 1945 municipal election was held November 7, 1945 to elect a mayor and five aldermen to sit on Edmonton City Council and five trustees to sit on the public school board (Joseph Gallant, Thomas Malone, J O Pilon, and William Wilde were acclaimed to two year terms on the separate school board).
There were ten aldermen on city council, but five of the positions were already filled: Sidney Bowcott, Athelstan Bissett, Sidney Parsons, James Ogilvie, Frederick John Mitchell were all elected to two year terms in 1944 and were still in office.
There were seven trustees on the public school board, but two of the positions were already filled: George Cormie and Alex Gemeroy had been elected to two year terms in 1944 and were still in office. Izena Ross had also been elected to a two year term in 1944, but had resigned; accordingly, James MacDonald was elected to a one year term.
On the separate board, there were four vacancies out of seven seats, as Adrian Crowe, Francis Killeen, and James O'Hara were continuing.
