Called “Miss Serene Efficiency” and “The Lady with the Facts,” Phyllis Gregory Turner Ross was a great contributor to Canadian political, social, and cultural life. To date, Phyllis is most well-known as the mother of John Napier Turner, who in 1972 became Minister of Finance under Pierre Trudeau, and had a brief, three-month stint as Prime Minister of Canada in 1984. She was an incredible woman in her own right and we’re pleased to highlight her personal legacy!
