Civic Government Association

The Civic Government Association was a political party active in Edmonton's municipal politics from after the First World War until the 1960s.[1] The party focused on the economic growth and government efficiency aspects of the Progressive Era, as it was envisioned by the 1920s.[2] From Edmonton's late 1919 election through the 1963 election, its supporters ran under the various names Civic Government Association, Citizens' Progressive League, Citizens' League or Citizens' Committee.[2][3]
