About Troy Lyons for Saint Croix
Troy has worked and lived within the riding of Saint Croix for over 20 years, however his connection to the region extends back over 50 years from visiting family at their home in St. Stephen and Oak Bay.
He was born and raised in Bathurst, New Brunswick, on the Bay of Chaleur. After graduation from high school, he attended the Nova Scotia Agriculture College where he attained his Bachelor of Science in Agriculture. He then headed westward to work in research at the University of Alberta in Edmonton followed by employment within the agriculture sector in Medicine Hat. Troy then returned to the east coast to attain his master’s in science degree where he conducted research at the Saint Andrews Biological Station followed by term contract positions with Fisheries and Oceans Canada in Saint Andrews and at the Huntsman Marine Science Centre. Following this, he began employment with the Provincial Department of Environment and Local Government as a marine biologist working predominately in coastal Charlotte County.
Troy is a firm believer in giving back, representing schools attended both academically, as gold medalist at the Canadian National Science Fair in his youth to awards during university, as well as through varsity athletics throughout middle, high school and college. He has coached youth soccer, volleyball and basketball and served as a judge at National Science Fairs and Envirothon at the provincial and international levels. He has also served his country as a member of the 2nd Royal New Brunswick Regiment Army Reserves.
Employment as a provincial government employee has provided him with the opportunity to serve his province by addressing issues on the provincial level. Over the course of the last number of years, there are numerous issues negatively impacting southwest New Brunswick. It is for this reason he has taken a leave of absence from the provincial government with the goal of representing the riding of Saint Croix within the provincial government to help make his community a better place to live.
