A. Edison Stairs
Allen Edison Stairs (December 22, 1924 – October 10, 2010) was a Canadian businessman and politician. Known by Edison, after graduating high school he attended the University of New Brunswick but interrupted his education during World War II to join the Royal Canadian Air Force. He served until after V-E Day in 1945 and following his discharge from the military settled in Woodstock, New Brunswick where he established an insurance business.
From a family active in community affairs, his great-uncle Ernest W. Stairs had been a member of the Legislative Assembly of New Brunswick from 1935 to 1939. Edison Stairs was elected as the Progressive Conservative Party member for Carleton in 1960, 1963, and 1967, sitting as a member of the Official Opposition.〔(CBC - Woodstock riding profiles, Edison Stairs )〕 Reelected in 1970, his party formed the government led by Premier Richard Hatfield, and Stairs was immediately named to the Cabinet. He held several positions〔(New Brunswick. Legislative Assembly, A.E. Stairs )〕 until 1976 when, as Minister of Finance〔(Ottawa Citizen- Dec 9, 1974 )〕 and Chairman of NB Power,〔(The Canadian Press - Dec 26 2010 )〕 he resigned from Cabinet to be with his terminally ill wife. Stairs remained a member of the Legislature until 1978 but retired from politics upon the passing of his wife.〔(Obituary )〕
His cousin, Gerald Stairs Merrithew, was elected both provincially (1972–1984) and federally (1984–1993).
