Robert E. Wade served as mayor of Hamilton, Ontario from 2000 to 2003, and is also a noted hobbyist and expert in the field of moose breeding. He currently resides in the Hamilton community of Ancaster.

Robert Wade moved to Ancaster from London, Ontario in 1960 after his employer London Life Insurance Company transferred him. He was first elected to the Ancaster City Council in 1978, and served for 22 years, including 16 as the Mayor of Ancaster. [ [http://www.myhamilton.ca/myhamilton/LibraryServices/Localhistory/2001-2003.htm 2001-2003 ] ] He was the last Mayor of Ancaster before Amalgamation.

2000 City of Hamilton Election

Bob Wade entered the New City of Hamilton's Mayoralty race and was not expected to win. The incumbent Bob Morrow had been Hamilton's longest serving mayor. He also had a strong electoral base. On election night it was revealed that over 50% of the residents of Ancaster had voted in the municipal election and 80% of them voted for Wade. Wade's win was as much a result of Morrow's supporters staying home as it was from his supporters coming out in droves. [ [http://www.caj.ca/mediamag/winter2001/car.html Canadian Association of Journalists — Media Magazine ] ] After serving for one term in office Bob retired from public life after 25 years. He was publicly criticized for being out of touch with municipal demands. His term as mayor is widely regarded as a failure.
