History
Harry Ainlay was born in Brussels, Ontario in 1887. After earning a teacher’s certificate, he came to Edmonton in 1912. Ainlay returned to teaching in 1920, working at Queen Alexandra High School, Garneau High School and Strathcona High School. Ainlay was first elected as an Alderman in 1931 for a two year term and was re-elected in 1933, but lost in the 1935 election. He ran for mayor in 1935, 1936, and 1937, but was defeated each time. He returned to municipal politics and won a seat as an Alderman in 1941 and again in 1943. Halfway through his term as Alderman, he stepped down and ran for Mayor in the 1945 election. He won and served as Mayor until 1949. An addition was added to the school in 1968.
