Affiliate Delegate Bio Brief

Terry Peters
Delegate & President, British Columbia Food Protection Association
OCCUPATION | Microbiology Program Specialist and Acting Program Manager (last two years) for the
Food Safety and Consumer Protection Division, Western Area of the Canadian Food Inspection Agency
(CFIA)

EDUCATION | Bachelor of Science, Chemistry, University of British Columbia (BC), 1968; BC Teacher
Certification, University of BC, 1970; Master of Science, Food Science, University of Manitoba, 1994

CAREER HIGHLIGHTS | Mr. Peters’s career began in the laboratory as a research assistant at the Uni-
versity of British Columbia. Two years later he joined Health Canada, working 11 years as a chemist.
Acting on a desire to work more closely with people and industry, Mr. Peters decided that his future lay
outside the laboratory setting and moved to the food safety inspection division of the Department, working
first as a field inspector and later as a technical specialist. Canada’s move to combine the food inspection
functions of four federal departments into a single food agency resulted in him joining the CFIA in 1997.

Mr. Peters’s work focuses on minimizing the risk to Canadians associated with many different food com-
modities. He is involved in CFIA’s national microbiological programs and sits as a member of its Microbiol-
ogy Science Committee and Microbiology Planning Committee. He is responsible for policy design, devel-
opment, and delivery and assessment standards for food safety issues. Mr. Peters provides leadership
and expert technical support and advice to a wide array of stakeholders, both within and outside govern-
ment.

PORTFOLIO | A key component of Mr. Peters’s work is the development and delivery of national training
courses in food safety. He is currently a national trainer on metal can defects, the safe production of
sprouts, and ready-to-eat meats. Mr. Peters has been part of two educational projects that have been
awarded by the industry: he was a member of a team that won a gold award at the Aurora Film Festival;
and another that received an award from the Association for Media and Technology in Education in Can-
ada.

Mr. Peters has been a member of IAFP since 1990. A six-year Delegate to the Affiliate Council, he has
also served as its Secretary and Chair. His vision for IAFP is an increase in international membership
beyond the North American continent. Mr. Peters was one of the founders of the British Columbia Food
Protection Association (BCFPA), which received its IAFP Affiliate charter in 1999. Serving first as
BCFPA’s vice president, he remains on the board of directors as president, working to educate and pro-
mote food safety in British Columbia and elsewhere. Mr. Peters continues to be very active managing the
affairs of BCFPA through leading meetings, giving talks, acting as liaison between industry and students,
and promoting both IAFP and BCFPA. Under Mr. Peters’s leadership, the BCFPA has won four Affiliate
Achievement Awards.

Mr. Peters articled and qualified as a Professional Agrologist in 1999 under the British Columbia Institute
of Agrologists. His professional affiliations, beyond IAFP, are with the Pacific Fisheries Technologists and
the BC Institute of Agrologists. He is a member of the Technical Review Board for the International Sprout
Growers Association, a member of the British Columbia FOODSAFE Steering Committee, and member of
the British Columbia Food Quality and Safety Advisory Committee. He has also held executive positions in
the Professional Institute of the Public Service of Canada, serving as president of their Scientific Regula-
tion Group for ten years, for which he received a Citation Award for personal efforts and dedicated ser-
vice.

PERSONAL ENDEAVOURS | Mr. Peters was born in England and emigrated with his family as a young
child to Alberta, Canada. It did not take long for his family to move to British Columbia and settle in Rich-
mond, where he grew up and graduated from Richmond High School. He and his wife, Lyn, have one son
named Luke. Mr. Peters enjoys traveling to foreign countries and spending leisure time curling in the win-
ter at his cabin on one of British Columbia’s gulf islands. In addition to BCFPA, he volunteers for the Pro-
