Description

William Lyon Mackenzie King (1874-1950) was Canada’s 10th prime minister. He dominated Canadian politics from the 1920s through the 1940s. With 21 years in office, he was the longest-serving Prime Minister in British Commonwealth history. As prime minister, he led Canada through the Roaring Twenties, the Great Depression, and the Second World War, finishing his last term in November of 1948.

King first worked in Ottawa in 1900 as a civil servant, studying labour issues. In 1909, he became Canada’s first Deputy Minister of Labour. During these early years, he was attracted by Gatineau’s landscape, and in 1903 he purchased land on Kingsmere Lake and built a cottage, which he named Kingswood. Over the years, he purchased more land and he eventually owned an estate of nearly 231 hectares. Upon his death in 1950, he willed his property in Gatineau Park to the Canadian people.
