Gamble, George Alvan, 1916- : George Alvan Gamble, executive administrator and public servant, was born in Guelph, Ont. and grew up in Toronto. Following service with the Royal Canadian Air Force, 1940-1945, he became a labour and public relations executive in industry. He served on the Toronto Welfare Council's Committee on Problems of the New Immigrant, and participated as well on labour conciliation boards chaired by Professor (later Chief Justice) Bora Laskin. From 1952 to 1956 Mr. Gamble was employed by the American Friends (Quakers) Service Committee in a racial equality program in Indianapolis, Indiana. He organized that city's Equal Job Opportunities and Merit Employment programs, the positive results of which were recognized in two citations presented to Mr. Gamble on his leaving Indiana.

On his return to Canada he took a position with the Canadian Mental Health Association where, as Information Chief, he increased the organization's fund-raising capability and public visibility. He was subsequently employed with the pharmaceutical industry, 1962-1971. Mr. Gamble served in the federal Department of Manpower and Immigration, 1971-1980. In 1967 he was elected a fellow of the American Public Health Association, and made a member of the Order of Canada in 1974. Mr. Gamble was also active with the Canadian affiliate of Project Concern, the Unionville Home Society, and the Baptist Church.

In addition, he and his wife Jean adopted three children with different racial backgrounds (a Black, a Métis boy, and a Native girl). The family was recognized by the Canadian Council of Christians and Jews in 1966 when they were nominated as the symbol of Brotherhood Week.
