William White, Q.C. (April 29, 1856 – May 9, 1953) was a Canadian politician. He served on the 1st Council of the Northwest Territories for Regina from 1883 to 1885.[1]
White was born in 1856 at Hamilton, Canada West, the son of Thomas White. After receiving education at the Upper Canada College and the University of Toronto, he became a lawyer. Though he served on the Northwest Territories Council as an independent as it was non-partisan, White affiliated himself later with the Conservative Party of Canada. He would practice law at Moosomin where he was also a prosecutor. He later moved to British Columbia, Yukon and England.[2] In 1887, he married Frances Louisa Cholerton-Hall.
He was elected in 1883 to the Council of the North West Territories, and retired at the next election, in 1885.
