Bio/Historical Note: Robert Leith (Dinny) Hanbidge was born in 1891 in Southampton, Ontario. He graduated from the Owen Sound Collegiate and Vocational Institute in 1909 and moved to Regina, Saskatchewan where he took the Saskatchewan Law Society law course. Hanbidge articled in the law firm of Sir Frederick Haultain, former Premier of the North-West Territories, and became a member of the Saskatchewan Law Society in 1915. He was appointed a King's Counsel in 1933. From 1911 to 1913 Hanbidge played football for the Regina Rugby Club (now the Saskatchewan Roughriders). In 1920 he was elected mayor of Kerrobert, Saskatchewan. In 1929, Hanbidge was elected as the Conservative candidate to the Legislative Assembly of Saskatchewan and was the Chief Whip in Premier James Thomas Milton Anderson's co-operative government. He first ran for the House of Commons of Canada as the Progressive Conservative candidate in the riding of Kindersley in the 1945 federal election. Although defeated, Hanbidge was elected in the 1958 federal election and re-elected in the 1962 federal election. In 1963 he was appointed Lieutenant Governor of Saskatchewan and served until 1970. In 1968, he was awarded an honorary Doctor of Laws from the University of Saskatchewan. He was Lieutenant-Governor of Saskatchewan from 1 March 1963 until 1 February 1970. Hanbidge died in 1974. The convention hall in the new Saskatchewan Centre of the Arts was originally named Hanbidge Hall but has subsequently been renamed twice. Hanbidge Crescent in Regina is also named in his honour.
