Natalie Jameson is a Canadian politician, who serves as Minister of Education in the Legislative Assembly of Prince Edward Island.[1] She represents the district of Charlottetown-Hillsborough Park as a member of the Progressive Conservative Party of Prince Edward Island.

She was elected approximately three months after the 2019 Prince Edward Island general election in the rest of the province, with the original election in the Charlottetown-Hillsborough Park district having been deferred due to the death of a nominated candidate just a few days before the original election date.[2]

After graduating from UPEI in 2009, Natalie moved west like many young Islanders and spent several years in Calgary working in professional roles primarily in the areas of community investment, human resources, and accounting. She is a dedicated volunteer having left her mark on charities and not-for-profits across Canada, including women’s shelters, the United Way, and the Ronald McDonald House.

Natalie was proud to return home to the Island to raise her young family. Natalie, her husband Dennis, and their sons William and Henry live in Hillsborough Park.[3]
