Biography
In 2013 Peter was recognized and inducted into the Slo Pitch National Hall of Honour for British Columbia. He is one of thirty-eight individuals who were recognized and honoured for their involvement.
Peter being inducted into the Hall of Fame recognizes individuals who give of themselves in ways that strengthen not only our organization, but the entire slo-pitch community.
When we think of dedication, commitment and hands on leadership, Peter is that person.
For years, Peter has been the driving force in making the facilities and the community of Township of Langley a better place. Peter has been deeply connected to Slo Pitch National whether through volunteering, organizing events or simply serving on committees. Peter continuously has been someone who stepped forward when there was work to be done and always has both an eye for detail and a vision for improvement. Peter spent many hours changing the temporary bases to permanent bases, to adding the jock boxes to all the fields, carefully maintaining the grounds, to ensuring the base lines were done correctly and painted yellow instead of the traditional white lines to running one of the biggest SPN Coed leagues in Canada. Peter has been one of SPN BC’s Provincial and National convenors for 30 years helping promote the SPN program.
One of the most memorable projects was the construction of the stunning gazebo located in the middle of the diamonds at McLeod Athletic Park, which today stands as both a gathering place and lasting symbol of Peters dedication. All these projects weren’t just about structures or paint- they were about creating spaces where people could come together play, enjoy and build memories. You can see, Peter chooses to give, not because it was easy but because he cares deeply about making a difference for the game of
slo-pitch, facilities for the players, and giving opportunities to the many individuals who participate and take advantage of Peters vision.
Your contributions will be appreciated and enjoyed for years to come by the Slo-pitch community.
