Lieutenant-Colonel C.P. Meredith, the son of Edmund Allen Meredith, was born at St. Andrews, N.B. He trained as an architect and became president of the Ontario Association of Architects in 1912. In 1908 he became a commissioner of the Ottawa Improvement Commission, and served as general secretary of the League of Nations Society of Canada from 1925 to 1934.
