Charles Avery Dunning, 1885-1958
Arriving in Saskatchewan from England in 1902, Dunning soon became a leader in the farmer's movement. After pioneer work on cooperative marketing and farm credit, Dunning became the first general manager (1911-1916) of the Saskatchewan Cooperative Elevator Company. He urged agrarian groups to avoid third-party politics, and channelled farmers' discontent into support for the Liberal Party. In a political career lasting from 1916 to 1939, he was premier of Saskatchewan (1922-1926) and twice federal Minister of Finance. A successful business career followed this retirement from politics.
