Eileen Elizabeth Dailly (February 15, 1926[1] – January 17, 2011[2]) was an educator and political figure in British Columbia, Canada. She represented Burnaby North in the Legislative Assembly of British Columbia from 1966 to 1986 as a New Democratic Party (NDP) member.
She was born Eileen Elizabeth Gilmore, the daughter of Joseph Gilmore and Mary Scott,[3] in Vancouver, British Columbia and taught school for ten years in British Columbia. In 1951, she married James Dailly.[1] She served ten years as a school trustee and was chairman of the Burnaby School Board for four years. In the assembly, Dailly served as deputy premier[4] and as Minister of Education. As education minister, she banned corporal punishment in schools in 1973; she also introduced mandatory kindergarten and created the first First Nations school board in the province (School District 92 Nisga'a). She retired from politics in 1986.[2] From 1988 to 1991, she hosted a senior's program on community cable television called "Coming of Age".[1]
Dailly died on Salt Spring Island at the age of 84[2] from complications following skin cancer surgery.[3]
