William George (Bill) Noden (November 30, 1898 – July 1, 1973) was a Canadian politician, who represented Rainy River in the Legislative Assembly of Ontario from 1951 to 1967[1] as a Progressive Conservative member. He was born in Sant Point Lake, Ontario, on the border of the U.S. state of Minnesota and Ontario.[2]
Provincial Office
First elected in the general election in 1951, Connell was re-elected in the general elections in 1955, 1959, 1963 and 1967. Despite his lengthy time in office, Noden never sat in Cabinet but was a member of an exceptionally large number of Standing Committees of the Legislative Assembly, sitting on as many as ten, simultaneously. In recognition of his public service, the three and a half mile causeway linking Rainy River to Atikokan and carrying Ontario Highway 11, was named the "Noden Causeway". The Causeway opened on June 28, 1965, while Noden was still an MPP.
Background
From 1926 to 1958, Noden was the co-owner the Gillmor-Noden Hardware Store on Scott, the main street in Fort Frances. He was a Mason and a member of Granite Lodge #446.
