Farmer, municipal official.
Born at Wolyn, Ukraine around 1899, he became an officer in the Polish Army. He married Nadezda Hermanovna “Nettie” Razumna (1905-2005) and immigrated to Canada in 1926. The couple had two children: George F. Bondar and Marilyn Joyce “Mary” Bondar (1932-2009, wife of Walter Bohdan Markiw, later wife of Walter Daniel Dennison). Originally destined for Saskatchewan, they changed plans and settled in Old Kildonan, residing at Lot 25 off McPhillips Street. A self-employed farmer by trade, the extent of his operation peaked at some 2,000 acres. He went on to serve in public office, as a School Trustee for many years and was the Reeve of Old Kildonan from 1955 to 1959 and again in 1964 to 1965 after the resignation of D. F. Christie. He died at Winnipeg on 24 December 1973 and was buried in Elmwood Cemetery.
