Max Silverman, 67, a businessman who is active in Jewish affairs, has been elected the first Jewish mayor of this Ontario city by a huge margin. Sudbury is composed of a mixed population of Anglo-Saxon, French-Canadian and Central European origins.
Mr. Silverman, whose parents settled in Canada in the 1870’s, coming from Russia, is active in the fur business and mining but best known for his lifelong participation in hockey. He has been in the sport for almost 40 years and has managed Sudbury hockey teams to world titles.
