Description
Mr. Peters briefly discusses his selection as the Canadian Armed Forces’ first Human Rights Officer.
Transcription
It was while I was in Trenton that the Base Commander, Colonel Russell, decided that there was enough concern about discrimination and human rights in Trenton that he wanted somebody to take care of it. He looked at my file and saw my background and decided that I was going to be it. So he went to the military and convinced them that they should approve the appointment of a Human Rights Officer. So I became the first Human Rights Officer in the military. Surprisingly, years later my daughter’s in with the diversity which was the later version of that.
