Peter Thompson April 26, 1993 ~ September 28, 2012 In 2012 the Bow Valley Kayak Club was lucky enough to have Peter Thompson as a coach. As a special thank you to Peter for his outstanding work with our club, we nominated him in the Mountain Idol competition. Tragically, Peter was killed in an accident on September 28. At the 2012 Banfff Mountain Film & Book Festival Peter was posthumously named the Mountain Idol of 2012. There will never be a more worthy recipent.
