Edmonton municipal election, 1941

The 1941 municipal election was held November 12, 1941 to elect a mayor and five aldermen to sit on Edmonton City Council and four trustees to sit on the public school board (William Wilde, Robert Tighe, Thomas Malone, and Romeo Bouchard 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: James Ogilvie, Sidney Bowcott, Athelstan Bissett, Sidney Parsons, and Frederick John Mitchell were all elected to two-year terms in 1940 and were still in office.

The same was true of the separate board, where Adrien Crowe, James O’Hara, and J O Pilon were continuing.
