History
John Gordon Sinclair was born in Komoka, Ontario, in 1889. After attending Normal School in London, Ontario, he taught school for several years in Ontario before moving to Edmonton, Alberta, in 1912. He had originally intended to take a job in Saskatchewan, but when that position fell through, he carried on to Edmonton. There, he found employment at the Edmond Technical School, where he taught art and design for 25 years. He was later the principal at McKay Avenue School, from which he retired in 1955. Sinclair was also known for his landscape and portrait painting.
