George Edmund Kelly (1886-1972) was one of the province's first electrical engineers and played an important role in the provision of electricity to rural Alberta. Kelly was born in Edmonton and established Alberta's pioneer electrical utility industry before joining Canadian Utilities in 1927. In the decades that followed, he compiled a preliminary report on rural electrification and arranged for the supply of power to Canada's first electrically driven oil well pumping unit. During WWII he introduced the use of electricity on farms. Kelly retired from Canadian Utilities in 1951 and was made an honorary director of the company. The G. Edmund Kelly Park is in the Kilkenny neighbourhood and has an area of 2.11 ha.
