Frederick C. Colborne

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 and served until 1971.

Political career

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 the 1971 Alberta general election by Fred Peacock of the Progressive Conservatives. After his defeat from the Legislature he did not return to provincial politics.cite web|url=http://www.abheritage.ca/abpolitics/database/maps_choice.asp?Year=1971&Constit=Calgary-Currie|title=Calgary Currie Official Results 1971|publisher=Alberta Heritage|accessdate=2008-03-30]
