History
Lloyd Roseville Crouse was born on 19 November 1918 in Lunenburg, N.S., and educated at Lunenburg County Academy. On 7 October 1942 he married Marion Cavell Fraser of Bridgewater and they had two children. In 1948 he established Crouse Fisheries Ltd., and later, Viking Fisheries Ltd. and Atlas Fisheries Ltd. in Lunenburg. He served as manager and secretary-treasurer of all three companies until their closure in the mid-1960s. Crouse was first elected to the House of Commons in the general election of 1957 as MP for Queens-Lunenburg (re-named South Shore in 1968). After serving as chairman and member of several committees, he was appointed a member of the PC "shadow cabinet" in 1983, responsible for fisheries policies. From 1985-1988 he was chairman of the Canadian Branch of the Commonwealth Parliamentary Association, and a member of the Canadian NATO Parliamentary Association. He became a member of the Privy Council on 10 June 1985. In 1988 he retired from politics, and on 20 February 1989 was sworn in as Lieutenant-Governor of Nova Scotia, a position he held until 20 February 1994. In 2007, he died at the age of 88 in his hometown of Lunenburg.
