After completing a B.A. at Brandon College, he attended the Salvation Army Training College, 1939-1940, and was commissioned as a captain, 1940. He worked in Montreal and Toronto prior to his enlistment in the Royal Canadian Air Force, 1941. He served with the 410 Squadron in England and was awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross for his part in Allied operations in Northwestern Europe. Following his return from overseas, Dinsdale attended the University of Toronto, completing an M.A. in sociology. He taught at Brandon College, Brandon, Man., 1946-1951. He was a member of Parliament representing Brandon-Souris, Man., 1951-1982. He served as a parliamentary assistant, 1957-1958, parliamentary secretary, 1959-1960, to the Minister of Veteran Affairs; and was a member of the Privy Council and appointed Minister of Northern Affairs and National Resources, 1960-1963.
Dinsdale's range of interests extended far beyond his political duties. He maintained a close relationship with the Salvation Army and other spiritual organizations, such as the Canadian Council of Christians and Jews; he was a strong supporter of the Prayer Breakfast, both in Canada and the United States; he had a lengthy affiliation with Brandon College/University and Richmond College; and he was a strong activist in the national and international rehabilitation movements for the handicapped. As well, he had a lifelong interest in music and played in family circles and in various Salvation Army bands.Additional information:General note:Received in 1984 and 1985 from Lenore Dinsdale.Subject heading:- Canada, Northern
