Albert Wren

Albert Wren

Albert Wren was an Ontario politician. He was first elected to the Ontario legislature as the Liberal-Labour MPP for Kenora in the 1951 provincial election. He had also run as a Liberal-Labour candidate in 1948 but was unsuccessful. He was re-elected in the 1955 and 1959 elections and served in the legislature until his death in 1961.

Wren sat with the Liberal caucus and ran twice in Ontario Liberal Party leadership conventions coming in second place in 1954 with 162 votes when he lost to Farquhar Oliver (himself a former United Farmers of Ontario MPP), and in last place with only seven votes in 1957 losing to John Wintermeyer.

Robert Gibson succeeded Wren as the "Liberal-Labour" MPP for Kenora and served until the 1967 election.
