Who was Arthur White?
Arthur Walter Adams White was a Canadian lawyer and politician.
White was born in East Zorra Township to James and Floria White. His parents had emigrated from England in 1903 and moved to Galt in 1908, when Arthur was a year old. Arthur White attended the Galt Collegiate Institute and St. Michael's College School in Toronto. He went on to earn a B.A. from the University of Toronto and obtained a law degree from Osgoode Hall in 1938.
White established a legal practice in Galt in 1939, and became involved in civic life. In the 1953 federal election, he was elected under the Liberal Party of Canada banner to represent the riding of Waterloo South. Defeated in the 1957 election, he returned to Galt politics and as a member of the Parks Board campaigned fiercely for Galt's 1959 purchase of the farm which is now Churchill Park.
Arthur White Street in Cambridge, Ontario is named for him.
