Wayne Thomson is a Canadian politician, formerly the mayor of Niagara Falls, Ontario. He served two separate terms in the office, from 1978 to 1983 and from 1991 to 2003. In 1983, Thomson resigned as mayor amid controversy over a vacation given as a gift by a Toronto development firm, and a land purchase made by his then-fiancé Bonnie Dickson. His fiancé bought some land in Niagara Falls from a seller who did not want it to be sold to Marineland. Seven months later, she sold the plot to Marineland. Marineland owner John Holer stated she acted as trustee and was accompanied by Thomson when the arrangements were made.
