George Reginald Provost (August 11, 1936 - July 17, 2002)[1] was a businessman and city councillor in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada.
[3] He later voted with the majority on council to introduce bilingual English and French signs to Winnipeg.
The Globe and Mail newspaper indicates that he lost public support after railing against what he believed were fire hazards in municipal hospitals, even after an investigation concluded that he was mistaken.
[6] He also started a company called Showtime Marketing Services Ltd., and produced a series of novelty Manitoba license plates in 1994 to commemorate the province's 125th anniversary the following year.
[9] Provost ran for a seat on the St. Boniface School Board in a 1999 by-election, and finished second against Tricia Barnabe.
