George Rideout

George Rideout

George Saunders Rideout (born 2 January 1945 in Moncton, New Brunswick) was a member of the Canadian House of Commons from 1988 to 1997. He was a lawyer by career, in practise with Stewart & Stratton and later Rideout & Robinson. He was also the mayor of Moncton, New Brunswick from 1983-1988. During his tenure as mayor, he laid the groundwork for Moncton's ascension as a regional hub of economic activity.

He won election for the Liberal party in the 1988 and 1993 federal elections at the Moncton electoral district. Rideout therefore served in the 34th and 35th Canadian Parliaments. In doing so, the Rideouts became one of the few Canadian families to have three separate family members hold the same riding. Rideout did not seek a third term in Parliament and therefore left federal politics in 1997.

Shortly after leaving politics, George was appointed to the Court of Queen's Bench of New Brunswick, He is still serving in that position.
