}}Robert Clifford Levy (October 19, 1905 – March 4, 1971) was a Canadian politician. He represented the electoral districts of Lunenburg County and Lunenburg East in the Nova Scotia House of Assembly from 1953 to 1959. He was a member of the Progressive Conservative Party of Nova Scotia.[1]

Early life

Born in 1905 at Sherwood, Lunenburg County, Nova Scotia, Levy was educated at Dalhousie University, and Acadia University.[2]

Career

Levy served as a town councillor and deputy mayor in Bridgewater, Nova Scotia from 1951 to 1952, and also served as president of the Nova Scotia Union of Municipalities.[2] His son Bob Levy served as a New Democratic Party MLA in the 1980s.[3]

Levy ran as a Progressive Conservative candidate for the Lunenburg County riding in the 1941,[4] 1945,[5] and 1949 elections,[6] but was defeated in all three attempts at entering provincial politics. He ran again in the 1953 election, and won a seat for the dual-member Lunenburg riding with Progressive Conservative Harley J. Spence.[7][8] In the 1956 election, Levy was re-elected by 308 votes in the newly established Lunenburg East riding.[9] On November 20, 1956, Levy was appointed to the Executive Council of Nova Scotia as Minister of Municipal Affairs, and Minister of Lands and Forests.[2][10] Levy resigned his seat on July 24, 1959, and was appointed a County Court judge.[2][11]
