Nancy Bell


Ann Elizabeth Haddon "Nancy" Heath Bell was a Canadian senator.
She was appointed to the Senate of Canada by Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau in 1970 and sat as a Liberal representing Nanaimo-Malaspina, British Columbia. Independently minded, she did not believe in party discipline and often voted against legislation proposed by the Liberal government. She was a supporter of the monarchy and opposed the renaming of Dominion Day to Canada Day.
In 1985, Bell left the Liberal Party to sit as an Independent Senator. Bell died in 1989 while still in office.
