New Station Manager at VCTV Valemount, BC

Gord Peters is the new station manager for VCTV, Valemount, BC. Most recently in Vancouver, he has been producing television, film, and video since 1997.

A graduate of Vancouver's Columbia Academy, Peters got his start working for BCTV (now Global), as a field producer for a weekly real estate show. He's no stranger to community television either, having volunteered and worked for Rogers TV Vancouver for 4 years on the weekly news/entertainment magazine show, Plugged In, among others. Peters also worked for City TV Vancouver as a news editor.

He went on to work in production in Vancouver, as a producer, director, editor, and director of photography on numerous film, television, and corporate video projects. Seeking a lifestyle change and a move to the mountains, Peters chose the picturesque community of Valemount, BC, located near Mount Robson, about an hour from Jasper, Alberta.

"The opportunity to produce local television and help make a difference in a small community really appealed to me.", said Peters. "Valemount is a beautiful place and the people here are really nice. And now that VCTV is on Bell and Telus satellite, we have an amazing opportunity to show Canada how great Valemount is. I'm looking forward to the challenge."

Peters looks forward to meeting and working with CACTUS members and encourages everyone to drop him a line at: tv@vctv.ca.
