Frank Gordon Stronach was a Canadian politician, who served as mayor of London, Ontario from 1961 to 1968.
Stronach, a retired 26-year veteran of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police,[1] was serving as police chief in the suburban London Township, which was slated for annexation into the city on 1 January 1961.[2] He ran for mayor in the 1960 municipal election after being unable to negotiate a position with the London Police Service, into which the township force was to be amalgamated.[2] He won over incumbent mayor Allan Johnston by a narrow margin of 174 votes, triggering a recount which confirmed his victory.[3]
Johnston ran against Stronach again in the 1962 municipal election, which Stronach won by a wider 4,900-vote margin.[4] In the 1964 election, Stronach was returned over two candidates including a 21-year-old University of Western Ontario student named Theo Wolder, who later went on to become a Judge of the Ontario Court of Justice;[5] in the 1966 election, he won reelection to a three-year term by acclamation.[6]
He ran as an Ontario Liberal Party candidate for London South in the 1967 provincial election, but lost to incumbent MPP John White.[7]
He died in office on 1 January 1968,[6] and was succeeded as mayor by Herbert McClure in a council vote on 8 January.[8]
