Marjorie Hamilton

Marjorie May Hamilton (1898 - December 27, 1990) was a Canadian politician, who served as mayor of Barrie, Ontario from 1950 to 1952.

[1] Early in her term, Hamilton presided over a municipal celebration and parade after the Barrie Flyers won the 1951 Memorial Cup.

[4] During the 1952 municipal election, Hamilton became engaged in a public dispute with city clerk and treasurer L. R. Barrand, who tendered his resignation from the city after opposing her plan to separate his position into two distinct job titles to be held by two different people.

[5] The dispute led councillor James W. Hart to register in the mayoral election against Hamilton, who until that point had been running unopposed.

Hamilton was later appointed as head of Simcoe County's juvenile and family courts.
