Lois Mabel Haggen, (née Hill; September 16, 1899 – February 28, 1994) was a Canadian politician, who represented the electoral district of Grand Forks-Greenwood in the Legislative Assembly of British Columbia from 1956 to 1966. She was a member of the Co-operative Commonwealth Federation, which became the New Democratic Party during her term in office.
Born in Mobile, Alabama in 1899,[1] she came to Canada and worked as a secretary.[2] In 1925, she married Rupert Williams Haggen.[3] After her husband became seriously ill, she succeeded him in the provincial assembly.[2]
Following riding redistribution for the 1966 provincial election, Haggen ran for re-election in the new Boundary-Similkameen district, but was defeated by Frank Richter, Jr.
In 1966, Haggen went to the United Nations as Canada's representative on the Human Rights Committee.[2] She died at Grand Forks in February 1994.[4]
