After a quick search (I didn't try variations of his surname), I don't see attestation papers for him:

I will continue to have a look around.

In case you have not seen the image, there is an Alexander Edgar, born in Scotland in July 1890 living with a Kear family.  Lily was born in March 1888 in England.

According to the image, Alexander immigrated in 1910.

Hi Jan, I can't find anything further on Alexander, I'm sorry.  Hopefully, someone else might be able to find something helpful.

If he stayed in Collingwood this might help when it becomes functional.
http://www.collingwoodpubliclibrary.ca/genealogy.htm  (obituary finder)
The main site of the library http://www.collingwoodpubliclibrary.ca/ shows that the obituary finder is temporarily unavailable.  If you use the program and servies button and click on the drop down menu and choose genealogy an email contact opens up.  They should be able to tell you when this service will be up and running again or perhaps look up the information for you.
