The Civic Government Association was a political party active in Edmonton's municipal politics from after the First World War until the 1960s.[1] The party focused on the economic growth and government efficiency aspects of the Progressive Era, as it was envisioned by the 1920s.[2] It first contested the 1919 election, and continued until the 1963 election. Its supporters ran under a variety of names: Civic Government Association, Citizens' Progressive League, Citizens' League or Citizens' Committee.[2][3]
