John Flaws Reid (June 30, 1860 – July 10, 1943) was a Scottish-born farmer and political figure in Saskatchewan, Canada.
[1] He was born in Eday, Orkney Islands, the son of Robert Reid and Charlotte Stevenson.
In 1882, he left Scotland and came to York Colony, Northwest Territories (later Yorkton, Saskatchewan), choosing a site nearby to settle.
He worked in Portage la Prairie so that he could purchase supplies and returned to his homestead the following year, when his mother and brothers arrived from Scotland.
The following year, Reid married Ida Estella Rae Rendall Fergus.
