Biography/Administrative history:

Show detail Hide detail

Herridge, Herbert W., 1895-1973 : Born in England in 1895, Herbert Herridge and his family emigrated to Canada in 1906 and settled in Nakusp, British Columbia. From 1909 to 1914, he attended the Ontario Agricultural College and in 1915 enlisted in the 54th (Kootenay) Battalion. Severely wounded at the Battle of the Somme, he returned to Canada in 1918 when he took over his parents' property for the purpose of farming and helped organize the Great War Veterans' Association.

Vice-President of the British Columbia Liberal Association in 1932 and Acting President in 1933, Herridge joined the Co-operative Commonwealth Federation in 1934. Elected in 1941 as a Member of the Legislative Assembly for Rossland-Trail, he resigned his seat in 1945 in order to run in the federal general elections. As this action was taken in violation of a directive of the British Columbia Council of the C.C.F., he was expelled from the Party and became a candidate for the People's C.C.F. Elected as a Member of Parliament for Kootenay West, he was re-admitted to the C.C.F. in 1948 and was re-elected M.P. in the general elections of 1949, 1953, 1957, 1958, 1962, 1963 and 1965. He served briefly as Parliamentary Leader of the New Democratic Party in 1962.

As a M.P., Herridge served on the Standing Committee on Veterans Affairs, 1945-1968, and was also on the Standing Committee on External Affairs and on the Standing Committee on Agriculture, Forestry and Rural Development. Both inside and outside of Parliament, he was a determined opponent of the Columbia River Treaty. Among his numerous extra-Parliamentary affiliations, he was a life member of the Royal Canadian Legion, an honourary life member of the International Union of Mine, Mill and Smelter Workers and served on the executive of the Canadian Tree Farmers' Association.
