She served on Edmonton City Council from 1952 to 1966 and as Social Credit Member of the Legislative Assembly of Alberta (MLA) from 1959 to 1971. She served as a cabinet minister in the Social Credit governments of Ernest Manning and Harry Strom from 1962 to 1971. Early lifeEthel Sylvia Knight[1] was born on February 13, 1902 on a farm just outside Sunnyside, Alberta. She took her post secondary education at Edmonton Business College. Wilson married Dave Wilson, with whom she had three children. He died in 1935 after ten years of marriage.[2] After her husband's death, Wilson entered the work force as a seamstress for Burns Meats, where she worked until her retirement in 1962.[2] During that time she was active in the labour movement, eventually becoming Secretary of the Edmonton Labor Council.[4] Political careerEdmonton City CouncilIn 1951, Wilson was nominated by the Edmonton Labor Council to run for a seat to Edmonton City Council in the municipal election.[3] She was defeated, finishing tenth among thirteen candidates.[4] She ran again the following year and was elected, taking fifth place.[5] Wilson was re-elected in 1954,[6] 1956,[7]1958,[8]1960[9]1962[10] and 1964.[11] She retired from council in 1966. Alberta LegislatureWhile still a member of Edmonton city council, Wilson ran for a seat in the Alberta Legislature in the 1959 general election. She ran as a Social Credit candidate in the new electoral district of Edmonton North, which she won over three other candidates.[12] She continued to hold her seat on Edmonton council while she served as an MLA. On November 30, 1962, Wilson was appointed to the cabinet as a Minister without portfolio by Premier Ernest Manning. The appointment made her the second woman in the history of Alberta to be appointed to cabinet (following UFA's Irene Parlby).[3] She was also the first trade unionist since Alex Ross (1917-1926) to sit in a provincial cabinet. In the 1963 general election she was re-elected with some reduction in popular support.[13] In the 1967 Alberta general election, Wilson defeated three candidates, including future NDP MLA Gordon Wright, getting almost as many votes as all her opponents put together.[14] In 1971 Wilson's constituency of Edmonton North was abolished during redistribution, and she ran for re-election that year in the new electoral district of Edmonton-Kingsway. She was defeated by Progressive Conservative candidate Kenneth Paproski who was part of the P-C wave that took power that year.[15] References1. ^{{cite book|last=Sanderson|first=Kay|title=200 Remarkable Alberta Women|year=1999|publisher=Famous Five Foundation|location=Calgary|page=69|url=http://www.ourfutureourpast.ca/loc_hist/page.aspx?id=917840}} 2. ^1 {{cite web|title=Wilson, Ethel Sylvia|url=http://www.epl.ca/edmonton-history/edmonton-elections/biographies-mayors-and-councillors?id=W|publisher=Edmonton Public Libraries|accessdate=April 23, 2010|deadurl=yes|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20110705052715/http://www.epl.ca/edmonton-history/edmonton-elections/biographies-mayors-and-councillors?id=W|archivedate=July 5, 2011|df=}} 3. ^1 2 {{cite news|title=She Sewed Up Job|page = Sec. 2–3|date=February 3, 1963|publisher=The Florence Times|work=Vol 103 No 308}} 4. ^{{cite web|title=Election Results 1945 - 2007 |publisher=City of Edmonton |url=http://www.edmonton.ca/city_government/documents/Election_Results_1945_-_2007.doc |page=13 |accessdate=April 23, 2010 |deadurl=yes |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20101215014547/http://edmonton.ca/city_government/documents/Election_Results_1945_-_2007.doc |archivedate=December 15, 2010 |df= }} 5. ^{{cite web|title=Election Results 1945 - 2007 |publisher=City of Edmonton |url=http://www.edmonton.ca/city_government/documents/Election_Results_1945_-_2007.doc |page=15 |accessdate=April 23, 2010 |deadurl=yes |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20101215014547/http://edmonton.ca/city_government/documents/Election_Results_1945_-_2007.doc |archivedate=December 15, 2010 |df= }} 6. ^{{cite web|title=Election Results 1945 - 2007 |publisher=City of Edmonton |url=http://www.edmonton.ca/city_government/documents/Election_Results_1945_-_2007.doc |page=19 |accessdate=April 23, 2010 |deadurl=yes |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20101215014547/http://edmonton.ca/city_government/documents/Election_Results_1945_-_2007.doc |archivedate=December 15, 2010 |df= }} 7. ^{{cite web|title=Election Results 1945 - 2007 |publisher=City of Edmonton |url=http://www.edmonton.ca/city_government/documents/Election_Results_1945_-_2007.doc |page=25 |accessdate=April 23, 2010 |deadurl=yes |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20101215014547/http://edmonton.ca/city_government/documents/Election_Results_1945_-_2007.doc |archivedate=December 15, 2010 |df= }} 8. ^{{cite web|title=Election Results 1945 - 2007 |publisher=City of Edmonton |url=http://www.edmonton.ca/city_government/documents/Election_Results_1945_-_2007.doc |page=31 |accessdate=April 23, 2010 |deadurl=yes |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20101215014547/http://edmonton.ca/city_government/documents/Election_Results_1945_-_2007.doc |archivedate=December 15, 2010 |df= }} 9. ^{{cite web|title=Election Results 1945 - 2007 |publisher=City of Edmonton |url=http://www.edmonton.ca/city_government/documents/Election_Results_1945_-_2007.doc |page=36 |accessdate=April 23, 2010 |deadurl=yes |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20101215014547/http://edmonton.ca/city_government/documents/Election_Results_1945_-_2007.doc |archivedate=December 15, 2010 |df= }} 10. ^{{cite web|title=Election Results 1945 - 2007 |publisher=City of Edmonton |url=http://www.edmonton.ca/city_government/documents/Election_Results_1945_-_2007.doc |page=42 |accessdate=April 23, 2010 |deadurl=yes |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20101215014547/http://edmonton.ca/city_government/documents/Election_Results_1945_-_2007.doc |archivedate=December 15, 2010 |df= }} 11. ^{{cite web|title=Election Results 1945 - 2007 |publisher=City of Edmonton |url=http://www.edmonton.ca/city_government/documents/Election_Results_1945_-_2007.doc |page=47 |accessdate=April 23, 2010 |deadurl=yes |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20101215014547/http://edmonton.ca/city_government/documents/Election_Results_1945_-_2007.doc |archivedate=December 15, 2010 |df= }} 12. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.abheritage.ca/abpolitics/administration/maps_choice.php?Year=1959&Constit=Edmonton_North | title=Edmonton North results 1959| publisher=Alberta Heritage Community Foundation | accessdate=April 23, 2010}} 13. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.abheritage.ca/abpolitics/administration/maps_choice.php?Year=1963&Constit=Edmonton_North | title=Edmonton North results 1963| publisher=Alberta Heritage Community Foundation | accessdate=April 23, 2010}} 14. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.abheritage.ca/abpolitics/administration/maps_choice.php?Year=1967&Constit=Edmonton__North | title=Edmonton North results 1967| publisher=Alberta Heritage Community Foundation | accessdate=April 23, 2010}} 15. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.abheritage.ca/abpolitics/administration/maps_choice.php?Year=1971&Constit=Edmonton-Kingsway | title=Edmonton-Kingsway results 1971| publisher=Alberta Heritage Community Foundation | accessdate=April 23, 2010}} External links
