Albert Kirvan

Albert Walmsley Kirvan (January 21, 1870 – May 6, 1951) was a politician in Manitoba, Canada. He was born in Meaford, Ontario.[1] He served in the Legislative Assembly of Manitoba from 1920 to 1927, as a member of the Manitoba Liberal Party. He was first elected to the Manitoba legislature in the 1920 provincial election, winning a close five-candidate contest in the constituency of Fairford. From 1920 to 1922, Kirvan served as a backbench supporter of Tobias Norris's government.[2]

Norris's Liberals were defeated in the 1922 provincial election. Kirvan was one of only eight Liberals elected, defeating G.L. Marron of the United Farmers of Manitoba by a significant margin. He was defeated in the 1927 election, losing to Progressive candidate Stuart Garson. He sought re-election in the 1932 campaign, but lost to Garson again by an increased margin.

He died at the age of 81.[1]
