246 pages including index, notes and black and white illustrations. "Bill Hawrelak was one of the most colourful and memorable political figures in western Canadian history. Successful businessman, community leader, and mayor over a thirty-year span, he left an indelible mark on the city of Edmonton. Hawrelak remains a controversial figure today. Some remember the man who led Edmonton through its biggest boom, spearheading many projects that still count as city landmarks. Others see a symbol of the Ukrainian community's evolution within one generation from immigrants to community leaders. Still others remember the mayor who brought embarassment to Edmonton after being forced from office - not once, but twice - under the cloud of political scandal.
