- Peter_Bevan-Baker abstract "Peter Bevan-Baker (born 3 June 1962 in Aberdeen, Scotland) is the leader of the Green Party of Prince Edward Island succeeding Sharon Labchuk. He previously stood as a candidate for the Green Party of Ontario and the Green Party of Canada. He is a dentist by profession as well as being an active writer, musician and public speaker.He holds a Bachelor of Dental Surgery degree from the University of Glasgow. He immigrated to Canada in 1985, living in Lewisporte, Newfoundland and then Brockville, Ontario before settling in Prince Edward Island in 2003. He became a Canadian citizen in 1992. He and his wife Ann live in an old farmhouse in Hampton, PEI and are the parents of four grown children. Bevan-Baker joined the Green Party of Canada in 1992, and has run as a candidate for the Canadian House of Commons in the elections of 1993, 1997 and 2000 in the riding of Leeds/Grenville in Ontario, and 2008 and 2011 in Malpeque, PEI.In 1997, he ran on a platform that advocated establishing a Genuine Progress Index (GPI). This was proposed to replace the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) as the standard measure for assessing national progress with an index that gauged the health and well-being of people, communities and eco-systems. Though not elected from 1997 to 2001, he forged an alliance with Liberal MP Joe Jordan to draft the Canada Well-Being Measurement Bill (C-268), which incorporated many of the central tenets of the GPI. The bill received first reading on 14 February 2001, but did not become law. The Bill remains as one of the greenest pieces of legislation ever to reach the floor of the Canadian House of Commons.Bevan-Baker has also run three times as a candidate in provincial elections in Ontario, and on Prince Edward Island in the riding of Kelly’s Cross-Cumberland in 2007 and 2011.He is active in grass-roots politics, and is a model of someone who “walks his talk”, putting his beliefs into practice, and inspiring others to do the same. In 2012 he spearheaded a coalition from a broad spectrum of Islanders against a project known as “Plan B”, which involved rerouting a portion of the Trans Canada Highway through a section of ancient Acadian forest, citing negative environmental and fiscal implications for the province. Bevan-Baker is a musician who enjoys playing trumpet with a wide variety of groups ranging from the PEI Symphony Orchestra, to rock, folk and jazz bands including “Groove Company” and the Charlottetown Jazz Ensemble, and has recorded several CDs. He is active in theatre, and has directed productions at the Confederation Centre for the Arts, including a musical and several plays with a youth theatre group which he formed in a local school. He recently collaborated on his first full-length musical, “1864, The Musical” which will be part of the upcoming 150th celebrations of the Charlottetown Conference of 1864. He is also a public speaker in demand across the country. In spring 2013 he will speak in Vancouver and Toronto at two of the largest dental conventions in North America as “The Happy Dentist”, a talk in which he describes how he has found contentment in his life by balancing the various elements of his work - as a care-giver, boss, entrepreneur and leader - and by tying these into his values and actions as a citizen and Green politician. In 2008, he and Ann completed renovations on an empty church near their home, converting the building into a dental office, café, and community hall. In efforts to reduce his environmental impact, he incorporated many “green” elements into the dental clinic, including a geothermal heating system, waterless suction, paperless business system, digital x-rays and LED lighting.".
