Cst. Veniot served briefly in the RCMP in 1940 & 1941. He then attended law school BA, LLB, QC and on to a long notable career in law, politics and the judiciary.
From 1961 to 68 he was Speaker of the House in the Nova Scotia Legislature and from 1968 to 1974 he was Minister of Municipal Affairs & Agriculture.
His principle project was the Pictou Harbour Causeway for the port which was completed in 1967 for $10 million and promptly named the "Harvey A. Veniot Causeway" in his honour.
In 1978, he retired from law and was appointed Magistrate. His brother, Reg.#13443 Milton Veniot, was a long time member of N.S. Vets.
