Mount Talbot is located on the northern side of Shale Pass on the Alberta-British Columbia border. [5] It was officially named on 4 November 1925 after Senator Peter Talbot (1854-1919), [6] an early pioneer of the Lacombe region of central Alberta. A teacher and farmer, he turned to politics and became an elected representative of the Northwest Territories and later the province of Alberta. In 1906, Sir Wilfrid Laurier appointed him to the Senate of Canada. [7]
