Lendrum McMeans

Lendrum McMeans (July 30, 1859 – September 13, 1941) was a politician in Manitoba, Canada. He served in the Legislative Assembly of Manitoba from 1910 to 1914, and was later appointed to the Senate of Canada. McMeans was a member of the Conservative Party.

McMeans was born in Brantford, Canada West (now Ontario), and was a commissioner for the revision of the Manitoba statutes in 1902. In religion, he was a member of the Church of England. McMeans served on the city council for Winnipeg and was also a police commissioner and a License Commissioner for Manitoba.

McMeans was elected to the Manitoba legislature in the 1910 provincial election as a member of the provincial Conservative Party, defeating former Liberal Party leader Edward Brown by 49 votes in the constituency of Winnipeg South. The Conservatives won this election, and McMeans served as a backbench supporter of Rodmond Roblin's administration for the next four years.

He was defeated in the 1914 election, losing to Liberal candidate Albert B. Hudson
