He was the Liberal member of the Legislative Assembly of Saskatchewan for the constituencies of Île-à-la-Crosse and Athabasca, the latter only existing from 1908 to 1917—making Nolin the only representative of the former electoral district. From 1917 until 1925 he represented the riding of Île-à-la-Crosse.[3]
He was born to Joseph Nolin and Marianne Gaudry in Bottineau, Dakota Territory; however, the family later moved to Manitoba. Joseph and his brother Norbert settled in Battleford, Saskatchewan. Nolin was fluent in French, English and Cree.[4]
In 1891, he married Marie Villeneuve. Nolin was a farmer and rancher at Meota and Jackfish Lake. He worked on the construction of Saskatchewan Highway 4 and served as captain for the Battleford Steam Ferry until a bridge was built across the North Saskatchewan River.
