Bereik en inhoud

Oval-shaped head and shoulders image of Archibald P. McNab, member, University Board of Governors.

Bio/Historical Note: Archibald Peter (Archie) McNab was born 29 May 1864 in Glengarry, Ontario, McNab moved west to Winnipeg in 1882 before homesteading at Virden, Manitoba. Successive years of drought forced McNab to give up farming by 1887, after which he became a grain buyer for Ogilvie Flour Mills. In 1902 he was transferred to Rosthern where he invested in two grain elevators. McNab later sold his interest and moved to Saskatoo. There he established the Dominion Elevator Company and helped found the Saskatchewan Central Railway Company and the Saskatchewan Power Company. McNab's political career began in 1908 with his election as Liberal MLA for Saskatoon City. Shortly after he was named commissioner of Municipal Affairs and in 1912 was named minister of Public Works. In addition to overseeing the construction of some of the province's most notable public buildings, McNab played an instrumental role in acquiring the University of Saskatchewan for Saskatoon. In 1926 he secured a position on the local government board until accusations of impropriety forced his resignation four years later. Although he had been comfortably retired for six years, McNab accepted the vice-regal appointment on 1936. During McNab's two terms as Lieutenant-Governor, the frugal character of Government House reflected the prevailing mood of a province suffering through drought and war. Nevertheless, an appropriate welcome was extended to King George VI and Queen Elizabeth during their visit to Government House in 1939. McNab also welcomed children to play on the grounds of the vice-regal residence before the CCF government announced the home's closure in September 1944. The last Lieutenant Governor to live in Government House, Archibald McNab resigned on 26 February 1945, due to failing health. He died of pneumonia on 29 April of that year.
