Arthur Laing

Arthur Laing was a Canadian politician. He was a Liberal Member of the Canadian House of Commons from Vancouver, British Columbia.

In 1953, he became leader of the British Columbia Liberal Party just before a provincial election. He defeated Tilly Rollston in the riding of Vancouver Point Grey, but only three other Liberal candidates were elected to the BC legislature.

He eventually went back to federal politics and served in the cabinets of prime ministers Lester Pearson and Pierre Trudeau.

The bridge between Vancouver and the Vancouver Airport is named for him.
