Dear Lord, We lift up Peter Bevan-Baker to You today. As he serves the people of Prince Edward Island, please grant him wisdom, patience, and clarity in every decision he makes. Lord, guide his words and actions so they reflect fairness, compassion, and integrity. Help him listen carefully to the needs of the people he represents and work faithfully for the good of his community. Give him strength when the work feels difficult and peace when the responsibilities are heavy. Surround him with wise counsel and encourage his heart as he serves others. Bless his family, protect his health, and fill his days with Your grace and guidance. Your Word reminds us: “Show me Your ways, Lord, teach me Your paths.” — Psalm 25:4. May he be guided by wisdom and a spirit of service in all he does. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
Peter Bevan-Baker arrived at the Prince Edward Island Legislative Assembly in May 2015 after following a long and winding road. That road began in Aberdeen, Scotland, moving through Newfoundland and Ontario before arriving in Hampton Prince Edward Island in 2002. On the way he studied music, became a dentist, married “the kindest person I’ve ever met,” had 4 children, wrote 6 plays and a musical, and ran as a Green Party candidate in 10 elections before finally succeeding in May 2015 when he became the proud MLA for Kellys Cross – Cumberland. In doing so, Peter became the first Green Party member of the Provincial Legislature. On April 23, 2019, Peter was re-elected in the newly established district of New Haven-Rocky Point, and with a caucus of eight, he formed the first Green Official Opposition in Canada. Peter continued representing the Green Party in the legislature with his re-election in 2023. Peter has always been active in his community, contributing in a variety of ways. Whether it was directing plays at his local elementary school, chairing the board of the Victoria Playhouse, or coaching soccer, he always felt and acted on a strong sense of community responsibility.
