Leonard Frank Werry (May 30, 1927 – February 25, 1973) was a provincial level politician from Alberta, Canada. He served as a member of the Legislative Assembly of Alberta from 1967 until his death in 1973 and was a cabinet minister in the government of Alberta, of Premier Peter Lougheed from 1971 to 1973.
Political career
Werry ran as a Progressive Conservative candidate in the Northwest Calgary riding of Calgary Bowness in the 1967 Alberta general election. He defeated former Member of Parliament Charles Johnston in a hotly contested election to pick up that seat for the opposition Progressive Conservatives.[1]
Werry ran for a second term in office in Calgary-Foothills in the 1971 Alberta general election as Calgary Bowness was abolished through redistricting. He picked up the new riding with a more comfortable result.[2]
The Progressive Conservative party formed government in 1971. Premier Peter Lougheed appointed Werry as Minister of Telephones and Utilities. Werry died on February 25, 1973, when his car collided with a truck on Highway 16, approximately nine miles west of Edson, Alberta.[3][4]
