Frank Fane

Captain Frank John William Fane (born: February 23, 1897, Beaver River, Alberta) was a farmer, World War I era soldier, and severed as a Canadian municipal and federal politician from 1958 to 1968.

Fane joined the Canadian Forces in 1914 and fought overseas with the 10th Battalion of the Canadian Expeditionary Force until 1918.

Fane began his political career as a Municipal Councilor in the small town of Mundare, Alberta. He also served the municipal government as Chair of the Mundare School Board.

Fane first ran for a Canadian House of Commons seat in the 1957 federal election. He was defeated by Social Credit candidate Peter Stefura finishing second last place in a slate of 5 candidates. Parliament would dissolve one year later, Fane would run against Stefura and defeat him winning the Vegreville electoral district. He would run for his second term in office in the 1962 federal election once again defeating Stefura.

The Progressive Conservative government lost the confidence of parliament forcing the 1963 federal election. Fane would retain his district with a landslide victory the largest of career. He would run for his final term in office in the 1965 federal election once again retaining his district in other landslide. Fane retired from federal politics in 1968.
