Steve Otto

Steven Otto (December 25, 1921 – January 16, 1989) was a Canadian politician.

Born in Poland, Otto was a businessman and lawyer before being elected to the Canadian House of Commons for the riding of York East in the 1962 federal election. A Liberal, he was re-elected in 1963, 1965, and 1968. He was defeated in the 1972 election. From 1981 to 1972, he was the Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Supply and Services.

On January 16, 1989, Otto's fourteen-metre sailboat, the Optimistica, hit a rock and capsized off the southeast coast of Cuba. He was presumed to have drowned and his body was never recovered.
