Mihalcheon (Romanian: George Mihălcean October 1, 1893 – October 2, 1956) was a politician from Alberta, Canada. He served in the Legislative Assembly of Alberta from 1926 to 1930 as a member of the United Farmers caucus in government. Early lifeMihalcheon was born in 1893 in Boian, Bukovina, an area which comprises present-day Romania. He moved to Alberta with his family in 1901 to the town of Hairy Hill, Alberta. He graduated normal school in 1918 and became a teacher in the town of Boian, Alberta. He married Mary Lutzak.[2] Political careerMihalcheon ran for the United Farmers nomination in the electoral district of Whitford. He defeated incumbent United Farmers MLA Mike Chornohus and two other contenders to run for the party in the 1926 Alberta general election.[3] Five candidates ran in Whitford. Mihalcheon won an absolute majority of the popular vote on the first count to hold the district for his party. Among the candidates he defeated was former MLA Andrew Shandro, who finished in second place.[4] Michalcheon became the first Alberta MLA of Romanian origin. His ability to speak English, Ukrainian and Romanian was credited with helping him win the election.[2] Mihalcheon retired from the Assembly at dissolution in 1930, when the Whitford Association asked him to step down fearing that his Romanian heritage might cause the party to lose the district.[2] Late lifeAfter his political career, Mihalcheon started farming. He also founded a general store.[2] References1. ^{{cite book|title=Guide Parlementaire Canadien|author1=Normandin, P.G.|author2=Normandin, A.L.|date=1929|publisher=P. G.
