Peter Allan
EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR
& BOARD MEMBER
Trained as an art historian with studies at McGill University and the University of Victoria, Peter’s career path has primarily been in the realm of management and tourism. For many years, Peter owned and operated Salt Spring Kayak and Cycle which found him leading others into the watery corners of British Columbia, Mexico and Italy. Observing the life-changing power of the immersive experience of eco tours was profound for Peter, as were chance encounters with the world’s marine creatures. Peter joined I-SEA around the time of the birth of his first son, and it is this parental responsibility around our generation’s environmental legacy that is an abiding interest. Peter is a practicing artist who is past president of the local Chamber of Commerce and the Salt Spring Gallery artists’ cooperative. Through his continuing role in I-SEA, Peter looks forward to working with the ever-inspiring change agents that are making the world a better place.
