Peter Wealick Speaks about his Vision Click Here;
During high school Peter’s interests were in the field of electricity and electronics. He had a vision to attend British Columbia Institute of Technology, but after many log hours of studying he found his vision would have to wait. After high school he served an apprenticeship as an electrician and received an inter-provincial license to work as an electrician. After many years in the trade (10 years) his vision of attending BCIT returned. It was back to night school to complete the necessary courses to meet BCIT’S entrance requirements. In 1982 Peter finally registered as a full time student and later graduated with a diploma of technology in electronics.
Peter is the founder and president of Aboriginal Computer Solutions Ltd., a company that specializes in providing computer products and services to Aboriginal communities, organizations and individuals. The company’s employees are currently all aboriginal.

Prior to starting his own company Peter was employed by Honeywell Ltd. He held various positions within the company, such as: Service Technician, Manager of Technical Services, Project Manager, Manager of Engineering and Chief Systems Estimator.
