Wilfred George Brown (March 1906 – after 1957) was Commissioner of Yukon from 1952 to 1955.
Brown was born in Moosomin, Saskatchwan in 1906 and attended the University of Saskatchewan, studying law. He later practised law in Regina and served in World War II.[1] W.G. Brown was a district administrator in the Northwest Territory before being appointed Yukon Commissioner.[2] Brown succeeded Frederick Fraser as Yukon Commissioner in November 1952.[3] In 1953 he agreed to a motion passed by the territorial council that reinstated the position of territorial secretary, with W.D. Robertson being given the post.[4] In 1953 Brown legally designated McLean Lake and all land within .5 miles (0.80 km) from its shore as a game sanctuary, the only game sanctuary that the Yukon government created without prompting.[5] In 1955 Brown was replaced by Frederick Howard Collins.[6]
On 13 June 1957 Brown, then chief of the territorial division of the Department of Northern Affairs and National Resources, was made deputy commissioner of the Northwest Territories council.[7]
The W.G. Brown Building/Astro Hill Complex is a two-building structure in Iqaluit, Nunavut, and at eight floors is the largest and among the tallest buildings in the city.[8]
