Martin represented Brantford in the Legislative Assembly of Ontario from 1926 to 1934 as a Conservative member[1] and St. Matthews as a Progressive Conservative member of the Legislative Assembly of Manitoba from 1958 to 1966.[2] BackgroundHe was born in Milton Abbot, Devonshire, England, the son of William Martin, and came to Canada in 1910, settling in Calgary, Alberta. He was ordained a minister of the Congregational Church there. He returned to England in 1912 promoting immigration on behalf of the Canadian government. On his return to Canada, he received a degree in theology from Victoria College in Toronto, Ontario. He served as an assistant minister for the Methodist Church in Hamilton and then was a chaplain overseas during World War I. He returned to serve with the Congregational Church in Brantford. In 1935, Martin was historian for the Canadian expedition to the Eastern Arctic.[3] PoliticsIn 1926, he was elected to the Ontario provincial assembly as a member of the Ontario Progressive Conservative Party for the constituency of Brantford. He served as the Minister of Welfare and Minister of Public Works from 1930 to 1934.[1] In 1936, Martin became minister at a United Church in Winnipeg, serving there until 1955.[3] He was elected to the Manitoba legislature in the 1958 provincial election,[2] defeating CCF candidate Gordon Fines by over 800 votes in the Winnipeg constituency of St. Matthews. (Incumbent Hank Scott placed a distant fourth, running as an independent Conservative.) Martin defeated Fines again in the 1959 election, and was returned a third time in the 1962 campaign.[2] He was a backbench supporter of Dufferin Roblin's government throughout his time in office and also served four years as deputy speaker for the assembly.[3] References1. ^1 {{cite web |url=http://www.ontla.on.ca/web/members/members_all_detail.do?locale=en&ID=1480 |title=William George Martin, MPP |publisher=Legislative Assembly of Ontario |accessdate=2013-11-06}} 2. ^1 2 3 {{cite web |url=https://www.gov.mb.ca/legislature/members/mla_bio_deceased.html#M0 |title=MLA Biographies - Deceased |publisher=Legislative Assembly of Manitoba |accessdate=2013-11-06}} 3. ^1 2 {{cite web |url=http://www.archivescanada.ca/english/search/ItemDisplay.asp?sessionKey=1143412449030_206_191_57_196&l=0&lvl=2&v=0&coll=1&itm=230786&rt=1&bill=1 |title=Rev.
