| Info | Peter Stubbins’ curiosity about the relationship between humans and their environment started early. The Columbia River Diversion canal, the proposed Pickering Airport, and cruel realities of fur farming caught a young mind’s attention.
These curiosities led to a life science degree from the University of Toronto in 1979. Here he received two academic awards and gained a firm understanding of the clash between ecology and human systems. Two years of travels to remote places made Peter aware of the relationship between poverty, corrupt governments, and environmental collapse.
Peter took the awareness he had gained to heart and ran for municipal office in Tiny Township. There he spent two terms as a councilor and then a deputy mayor. He pursued a path of slow growth, habitat restoration, fiscal restraint, public access to natural resources, and waste diversion. He co- founded a number of cultural and environmental organizations all geared to opening up our minds to other possibilities.
The Green Party of Canada informed him around 1987 that he was the first Green Party member to have once held public office.
Since 1994 he has kept his hand in green advocacy, and coached numerous soccer teams. His wife Cheryl is a registered nurse and dental hygienist, his father and brother are family doctors and his mother was a lab technician. This has given Peter some insight into the functions of the medical system.
Peter’s career as a registered physiotherapist, two active boys, and a desire to build a low impact home saw him exit politics – until now.
