About Us

Hi, I’m Doug Peters, also known as Doug The Plumber. I was raised in Burnaby, finished high school and joined the labour force. I started my plumbing career 40 years ago. We worked on residential wood frame apartments, concrete high rises and many commercial projects in the lower mainland. 

In my twenties I spent 5 years in Toronto; Ontario; on even taller high rises and commercial construction jobs. In the 90’s I moved back to North Vancouver, British Columbia and worked mostly residential, some palatial, in West Van, Lions Bay, Deep Cove and Whistler. For over 20 years I have enjoyed the Vancouver Island lifestyle in the Comox Valley. 

I get a lot of satisfaction from working for a living. I enjoy a job well done by myself or my employees.  We do renovations, additions, new gas and plumbing and gas service work both residential and commercial. The opportunities to engage with people and problem solve challenges are many.  I have found like-minded employees who are honest, hardworking and pleasant to be around.

My hobbies list is rather long. I got into skiing in my tiny teens.  Downhill and cross country. My father was an avid hiker, hunter,  and backcountry skier. His love for the outdoors definitely rubbed off on me. Biking,  walking, soccer, kiteboarding, sailing, water skiing, hiking, camping, music and brewpubs, to name a few.

Once living in the Comox Valley, a good friend introduced me to the Adaptive Snow Sports program on Mt. Washington.  I taught skiing as a volunteer for 15 years. We specialized in instructing folks with a wide range of physical and or special needs challenges. Kudos to Mt. Washington for financially supporting Adaptive Snow Sports so well for so long.  That was a great opportunity for me to introduce my children to skiing and snowboarding, something we all still love.
