Charles Edward Tisdall (9 April 1866 - 17 March 1936) was the 19th mayor of Vancouver, British Columbia from 1922 to 1923. He was born in Birmingham, England, moving to Vancouver in April 1888. In 1899 he was elected Chairman of the Vancouver Board of Trade.
He became mayor under a new "proportional representation" voting the city introduced in 1922. Four rounds of voting were required before the winner was determined. That system was revoked by 1924, after Tisdall finished his second and final term as mayor.[1]
Tisdall served as a Vancouver alderman and died while serving in that capacity. He was also serving for the city's parks board.
He was once a member of the province's legislative assembly with the British Columbia Conservative Party.
