Bruce Allan Clark

Bruce Allan Clark

Bruce Allan Clark (born April 26, 1948) is the former mayor of the town of Glace Bay, Nova Scotia from 1981 until 1988.

Clark became the thirteenth mayor of Glace Bay in a 1981 by-election, succeeding long time mayor Dan A. Munroe who had resigned. Clark served as mayor until 1988, when he left the mayor's office in a bid to become MLA for the riding of Cape Breton East, running as a candidate for the Progressive Conservative Party of Nova Scotia under the leadership of John Buchanan. Clark lost the election to John MacEachern, who was the Liberal candidate.

During his time as mayor, Clark achieved success for the town in a variety of ways, perhaps most notable is the cleanup project of Glace Bay's sewage area, spearheading the development of Renwick Brook, which is to this date one of Glace Bay's proudest and most beautiful destination for visitors and residents alike. As a result of Mayor Clark's efforts some still refer to Renwick Brook as "Bruce's Brook".

Clark ran for mayor of Glace Bay once again in 1991 and lost by a narrow margin to Donald MacInnis.

Clark currently holds a management position with the Nova Scotia Community College. Although no longer directly involved in politics, he still remains an avid follower of local, provincial and federal politics.

Clark is married to Mrs. Jane (Burden) Clark, a retired schoolteacher and the couple still reside in Glace Bay. They have been married since 1975 and have three children.
