January 6, 1888 – August 11, 1947 Originally from Winnipeg, Manitoba, Gerry McGeer served as Vancouver mayor for 1935-36. Remembered for reading the Riot Act in April 1935 before a crowd of unemployed men in Victory Square and for building a new city hall at 12th Avenue and Cambie, more has been written about Gerry McGeer than about any other of the city’s mayors. Raised: 1926/05/25 Prince Arthur Lodge No. 82
