Peter Armstrong Right from the beginning, Peter Armstrong has had a strong commitment to sustainability. In 1989, Peter assembled the successful team that developed the Rocky Mountaineer rail service. Through Peter’s insistence, the Rocky Mountaineer became the first train company in Canada to install holding tanks for sewage on all their trains. Peter’s relentless dedication to doing the right thing and his principles of guest service have been integral in creating the company’s high level of guest satisfaction. And Peter is determined to have Armstrong Group take a leadership role in the development of sustainable tourism practices. |
