Former Edmonton Mayor Terry Cavanaugh has died.

He was first elected in 1971 as an alderman—-served on city council for 27 years—-and was mayor for two terms…

Among the many things he did—-he’s a major reason the Hotel Mac is still with us—-as he was a driving force behind declaring it a “Municipal Historic Resource” in 1985.

It re-opened in 1991—after a ton of renovations….

Cavanaugh died Sunday night—at the age of 91.
