Lester Bowles Pearson, commonly known as Mike Pearson, was a Canadian statesman, diplomat, scholar, and politician who served as the 14th prime minister of Canada from 1963 to 1968.
Born on April 23, 1897, in Newtonbrook, Ontario (now part of Toronto), he was the son of Edwin Arthur Pearson, a Methodist minister, and Annie Sarah Bowles.
Pearson grew up in a close-knit family that moved frequently due to his father’s ministerial postings across southern Ontario.
