Peter Poole was elected in October 2017, as a Town Councillor, for a term of four years, until October 2021.
Peter is deeply involved in Banff in business, conservation and building relationships with First Nations. He has served on several Banff committees, including the Economic Prosperity Committee, the Development Appeal Board and the Luxton Historical Foundation. He also advises the Dean of Science at the University of Calgary.
Peter’s businesses include the Wild Flour Bakery, the Juniper Hotel and the Bison Courtyard. In all of his projects he pursues a vision:
“Community thrives,” he says, “when we link one person with another, when we link business with culture, and when we link our hopes with nature.”
His wife is the great singer Nan Hughes and his children are in university.
“SO LET THE SUNSHINE IN…FACE IT WITH A GRIN…”
I love the mystery of Halloween, going door-to-door not knowing what each home is going to give you. Sometimes you win (a bag of Smarties!) and sometimes you lose (Tootsie Rolls left over from last year’s stash). You don’t always get what you want. Politics is that way, too.
