Early life
Campbell was born in Vancouver, British Columbia. Charles Gordon (Chargo) Campbell, his father, was a surgeon and an assistant dean of medicine at the University of British Columbia before he died in 1961, when Gordon was 13. Peg's mother taught Peg at University Hill Elementary School as a kindergarten assistant. The couple had four children. Gordon grew up in Vancouver's West Point Grey neighborhood and moved to Stride Elementary Elementary and University Hill Secondary School, where he was the student council president. He was accepted by Dartmouth College, an Ivy League school in New Hampshire; he had been given a scholarship and a work offer so he could afford the tuition.
Later life
Campbell intended to study medicine, but three English professors advised him not to shift his attention to English and urban management. He obtained a Bachelor of Arts degree in English. Campbell received a $1,500 Urban Studies Fellowship in 1969, which made it possible for him to serve in Vancouver's city government, where he met Art Phillips, a TEAM city councilor and future mayor of Vancouver.
Campbell and Nancy Chipperfield were married in New Westminster on July 4, 1970, after graduating from university that year. They went to Nigeria to teach under the Canadian University Service Overseas (CUSO) scheme. He taught basketball, track and field, and literacy projects. Campbell was accepted by Stanford to complete a master's degree in education, but the couple returned to Vancouver instead, where Campbell took law school at the University of British Columbia (UBC) and Nancy finished her education degree. Campbell's law schooling was short-lived; he soon returned to Art Phillips to work on his mayoral bid. Campbell became his executive assistant when Phillips was elected in 1972, a job he held until 1976.
He left Mayor Phillips' office and joined Marathon Realty as a project manager at 28 years old. Geoffrey, the Campbells' first child, was born in 1976. The Campbells bought a house in Point Grey in 1978, which was their home for the next 26 years. He went from 1975 to 1978 at Simon Fraser University for a Master of Business Administration degree. Nancy Campbell gave birth to Nicholas, Nancy Campbell's second child, in 1979.
Campbell left Marathon Realty in 1981 and founded Citycore Development Corporation, his own company. Despite the economic recession that impacted Canada this year, his business was profitable and built several buildings in Vancouver.
Campbell, after a two-year absence from civic involvement, became involved in May Brown's mayoral bid and was a strong promoter of the Downtown Stadium for Vancouver's Committee. Despite Brown's loss, Campbell and the committee kept promoting False Creek, which at the time was polluted industrial property. The group was eventually profitable, as Premier Bill Bennett revealed the Downtown Stadium initiative in 1980.
