Educator, school trustee.
Born at Malta in 1893, son of Ennericus Henry “Enrico” Salinos (1857-1938) and Rosaria “Rosina” Assopardi (1871-1938), he immigrated to Canada in 1916 and settled in Manitoba. Around the time of the First World War, he anglicized his first name from Carnel to Charles. He taught in rural schools, particularly with the Bradley School District where he was teacher (1913-1919, 1923-1929), Principal (1919), and Secretary-Treasurer (1920s and 1930s, during non-teaching years within said district), and otherwise taught at Overstone School (1919-1920) and Bukowina School / Lord Roberts School (1920-1923 & 1930-1931; Principal 1930-1931), Tolstoi School No. 1 (1922, night school), Solway School (1935-1938), Lukowce School (1938-1941), Tolstoi School No. 2 (1948-1949), and Glenmoor School (1949-1950).
On 15 July 1922, he married Sophie “Soffie” Drewniak (1906-1976) in the Rural Municipality of Franklin and had a son, Albert Edward Salinos (1923-1972). He resided at 15-1-5E (1926) and later at nearby Tolstoi for many years before his death.
He died in 1957 with subsequent burial at the Tolstoi Holy Trinity Roman Catholic Cemetery.
