In Memoriam
Mr. Peter Gibbons
August 23, 1944-May 1, 2022
It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Peter Gibbons on May 1, 2022. Skating has been a part of Peter’s life for over 65 years and he was a long time BC/YK Section & Skate Canada volunteer and official. As with many figure skating athletes, Peter transitioned from competitions to ice shows, and then to coaching. When Peter stopped coaching in 1990, he turned his attention to officiating. Over the past 32 years, Peter has been one of the most active officials in the BC/YK Section. Peter was a Canadian Level Synchronized Skating Official and a Senior Sectional Singles Judge, he was always available to travel anywhere to judge/evaluate and during COVID he easily transitioned into remote officiating and virtual assessments. Peter also served on many committees including as Chair of the BC Coast Region Board and recently as assessment co-ordinator for VIR. Peter loved cats and leaves behind his pet Ginger who ruled Peter with an "iron claw". Peter will be missed by his family and many skating friends.
