Thomas Clement Douglas arrived in Weyburn 1930 as
the minister for Calvary Baptist Church at the beginning of the
Great Depression. He set up a job and food distribution centre
at the church, and moved into political involvement. He ran and
lost under the Co-operative Commonwealth Federation (CCF) in
1934, but was successful in the 1935 federal election. He served
two terms in Ottawa, and re-entered provincial politics in 1944
by leading the CCF to power. He served as Saskatchewan's premier
until 1961, followed by 10 years as leader of the NDP.
This website is a tribute to his life and accomplishments.
One of Weyburn's favorite sons, Douglas has left a legacy that
has made us proud to be Canadian. Below are collected a number
of links on Tommy Douglas, and his legacy.
