Who was Allan A. Lamport?
Allan Austin Lamport, CM was Mayor of Toronto, Canada, from 1952 to 1954. Known as "Lampy", his most notable achievement was his opposition to Toronto's Blue laws which banned virtually any activities on Sundays. Lamport fought to allow professional sporting activities on Sundays. He won the 1954 election, but resigned after six months to become vice-chairman of the newly formed Toronto Transit Commission. Lamport later returned to City Council and made headlines for his opposition to Yorkville's hippies in the late 1960s.
