Greg Thompson
Elected to serve as a Member of Parliament, Gregory Francis Thompson built a career in Canadian federal politics that drew on his earlier professional experience across multiple fields.
Born on March 28, 1947, in St. Stephen, New Brunswick, Thompson was educated at St. Thomas University. Before entering politics, he worked as a teacher, a financial planner, and a businessperson, occupations that gave him a varied background before his parliamentary career. As a Canadian citizen whose work was conducted in English, he went on to serve as a Member of Parliament, representing his constituents at the federal level.
Thompson died on September 10, 2019, in Rexton, New Brunswick. His trajectory — from classroom to financial services to business and ultimately to Parliament — reflected the range of roles he held across his working life.
