Edmonton municipal election, 1932

The 1932 municipal election was held November 9, 1932 to elect a mayor and five aldermen to sit on Edmonton City Council and three trustees to sit on the public school board (Adrien Crowe, J O Pilon, and W D Trainor were acclaimed to the separate school board).

There were ten aldermen on city council, but five of the positions were already filled: Rice Sheppard, Harry Ainlay, James Findlay, Herbert Baker, and Arthur Gainer were all elected to two-year terms in 1931 and were still in office.

There were seven trustees on the public school board, but four of the positions were already filled: Albert Ottewell, Frank Crang, L. Y. Cairns, and Arthur Cushing had all been elected to two-year terms in 1931 and were still in office. The same was true of the separate school board, where Charles Gariepy, T Malone, Thomas Magee, and J Tansey were continuing.
