Treff Peters
After retiring from a long career in sales and various entrepreneurial endeavours, Treff Peters started “Young at Heart Seniors”, a group with over one hundred subscribers that meet weekly for various outdoor activities including hiking, cycling, skiing and kayaking. Treff is also an active member of the Perth Men’s Shed group.
In the 1980s as a volunteer for the Rotary Club of Renfrew, Treff visited a gentleman in a seniors’ home that had not received a visitor in over 10 years. He was deeply touched at the reality that some of these people who were not receiving visitors had family members living in their local area. After learning about the Cycling Without Age (CWA) movement and understanding the benefits of people experiencing outdoor activities together, Treff decided to launch a CWA chapter in Lanark County.
Treff and his wife Myrna (also an outdoors enthusiast) live in Beckwith Township.
