Hugh Wilsons Bio

We are very fortunate to have Hugh Wilson as our writer for the update to Gas Lights to Gigawatts, as he was also the publisher and lead writer on the original Gaslights to Gigawatts published in 1998.

Hugh has only recently joined our ranks as a retiree from teaching at the Sentinel Secondary school in West Vancouver where, in addition to his teaching accomplishments, he co-coached the girls cross country team to a record setting performance at the BC High School cross country championships.

He has further connections with BC Hydro through his father, Jim Wilson, an urban planner who was directly involved with the resettlement of the Arrow Lakes during the Columbia River project developments.
