Ivan Court was born in Saint John, New Brunswick on October 21, 1949.[2]
In 2014, Court attempted a run in provincial politics in the riding of Saint John Lancaster and said he believed he had the credentials to improve the situation for the people of his riding. "I served 14 years on Common Council, ten as a Councillor and four as the mayor", Court said. "I was involved heavily in sports. I believe I have the knowledge base. I worked with the Ministers of Local Government. I don't think there's a politician right now in Fredericton that has my experience working at the national, provincial and municipal levels." However, he was unsuccessful, losing the Liberal nomination to former city councillor Peter McGuire.[3][4]
He died at Saint John Regional Hospital, on October 28, 2025, at the age of 76.[5][2]
