Biography

McKellar was educated in Manitoba's public school system, at Nesbitt School District #724,[1] and worked as a farmer and insurance agent. He was a member of the Lions Club and the Masonic Order.[1]

He was first elected to the Manitoba legislature in the 1958 election, winning a relatively easy victory in the southwestern rural riding of Souris-Lansdowne. He was re-elected in the elections of 1959, 1962, 1966, 1969 and 1973, on the last two occasions for the redistributed riding of Souris-Killarney.[2] The only time when his election was in doubt was 1966, when the Liberals ran a strong challenger. He was not appointed to cabinet by either Dufferin Roblin or Walter Weir.[2]

McKellar was elected as a director of Portage Mutual Insurance in 1973.[3] He died in office in 1976.
