Peter McCartney

Peter McCartney (he/him) lives on xʷməθkʷəy̓əm, Sḵwx̱wú7mesh and səlilwətaɬ territories with his husband in the West End of Vancouver.

After journalism school, he spent nine years fighting pipelines and fracking as the Wilderness Committee's Climate Campaigner, when he helped shape the voice of the organization and developed his own communications skills. Peter believes communities hold the solutions to our environmental crisis and strengthening relationships between people and nature is more necessary than ever. He recently completed his master's in community planning and is excited to be back at the Wilderness Committee helping connect people to the natural world through its vital advocacy work. When he's not plotting about the future with his friends and allies, Peter is often playing board games, getting outdoors or cooking dinner. He's always grateful for the opportunity to work together with folks who share his values.
