Maurice Ridley

Maurice E. Ridley (February 25, 1915 – October 2, 1960) was a politician in Manitoba, Canada. He served in the Legislative Assembly of Manitoba as a Progressive Conservative from 1957 to 1960, and was a cabinet minister in the government of Dufferin Roblin.

Ridley was first elected to the legislature in a by-election held on November 14, 1957 in the constituency of Manitou—Morden. He handily defeated his Liberal-Progressive opponent David Lumgair, in a seat that was considered safe for the Progressive Conservative Party.

He was re-elected in the 1958 provincial election, in which the Tories under Dufferin Roblin formed a minority government. Ridley was a government backbencher during this period.

Returned again by a landslide in the 1959 election, he was appointed to cabinet on December 21, 1959 as Minister of Municipal Affairs. His time in office was short, as he died in late 1960.
