Eldon Woolliams

Eldon Woolliams

Eldon Mattison Woolliams (12 April 1916-24 September 2001) was a Progressive Conservative party member of the Canadian House of Commons. He was born in Rosetown, Saskatchewan and his career included law and education.

Woolliams first represented the Bow River electoral district. His first attempt to win the riding in the 1957 federal election was unsuccessful, but would defeat incumbent Charles Edward Johnston in the 1958 election. Woolliams won re-election there in 1962, 1963 and 1965.

When riding boundaries were rearranged in 1966, Woolliams won election at the Calgary North riding in the 1968 election and was re-elected there in 1972, 1974 and 1979. Woolliams left national politics in 1980 and did not campaign in that year's national elections after serving eight successive terms from the 24th to the 31st Canadian Parliaments.

A scholarship fund in his name exists at the University of Saskatchewan College of Law.
