Norma Price

Norma Price (born August 19, 1920 in Winnipeg, Manitoba, died February 24, 2008 ) was a politician in Manitoba, Canada. She was a Progressive Conservative member of the Manitoba Legislature from 1977 to 1981, and served as a cabinet minister in the government of Sterling Lyon.[1]

Price was educated at Immaculate Conception School and St. Mary's Academy. She married James Edward Price on February 1, 1940.

She first ran for the Manitoba legislature in the provincial election of 1973, losing to Liberal Stephen Patrick by 796 votes in the west-end Winnipeg riding of Assiniboia. Four years later, in the 1977 election, she defeated Patrick by over 3,500 votes as the Tories formed government under Lyon.

On October 24, 1977, Price was appointed Minister of Labour with responsibility for the Civil Service Act, the Civil Service Superannuation Act, the Public Servants Insurance Act and the Pension Benefits Act. On October 20, 1978, she was reassigned as the Minister of Tourism and Cultural Affairs on October 20, 1978, and as Minister of Cultural Affairs and Historical Resources on December 7, 1979.

She did not run for re-election in 1981, and has not sought a return to politics since that time.
