Five generations of public service

Some of you may know that, from time to time, I've shared that I was inspired to enter public life, as a two-term Coquitlam City Councillor, by the stories my mother told me about her father, John Caswell Davis, who was a senator representing Manitoba. But that's not all the political service on my late mother's side of the family. In fact, her sister, my aunt Lucille Davis Huot, was a school trustee in St. Boniface, Man. Her maternal grandfather, Edouard Guilbault, was an alderman (councillor) in St. Boniface, and his father (my mom's great grandfather), Victor Mager, was the Reeve (mayor) of St. Vital, Man. So, counting me, that's five consecutive generations of political service on my mom's side of my family. It was only this week that I finally figured this all out! Photos below, top to bottom, are of Mager, Guilbeault, Davis, and Huot. Check out their bios at Memorable Manitobans.
