Allan Alexander Warrack (born May 24, 1937) is a former provincial level politician and current University Professor from Alberta, Canada. He served as a member of the Legislative Assembly of Alberta sitting with the governing Progressive Conservative caucus from 1971 to 1979. During his time in office he served a couple different cabinet portfolios in the government of Premier Peter Lougheed. He currently teaches at the University of Alberta.
Political career
Warrack ran for a seat to the Alberta Legislature in the 1971 Alberta general election. He won a hotly contested race defeating incumbent Raymond Ratzlaff by 8 votes to pick up the Three Hills electoral district for the Progressive Conservatives who went on to form government in that election.[2]
After the election Premier Peter Lougheed appointed Warrack to the Executive Council of Alberta. He would serve as Minister of Lands and Forests. Warrack ran for a second term in office with ministerial advantage in the 1975 Alberta general election. He would defeat three other candidates easily to be returned to his seat.[3]
Lougheed shuffled Warrack after the election to serve as the Minister of Utilities and Telephones. He would retire from provincial politics at dissolution of the Assembly in 1979.
Late life
After leaving provincial politics Warrack became a Professor at the University of Alberta with the Department of Marketing, Business Economics and Law in the Faculty of Business and also serves as the Associate Dean of the Master of Public Management Program and Vice-President of Administration.[4]
He also serves a position on the National Research Council of Canada.[4]
