Andrew Whittick

Andrew Whittick is the General Manager of Brewster Attractions – a large regional business based in Banff.

The Brewster legacy began in 1892 as a family-run business. Two brothers, Bill and Jim Brewster aged 10 and 12, guided visitors into the majestic areas in and around Banff. Through their relationship with First Nations People, the Brewster boys knew the area better than anyone else – and learned a deep and abiding respect for the land, the people and the animals that inhabit it.

Peter Tucker

Whittick Peter Tucker is the Executive Director of the Association of Canadian Mountain Guides (ACMG). However, Peter is a little camera-shy, so he asked us to use a photo of Mickey Mouse in place of his “head shot”. We’ve reluctantly conceded to not use his own likeness on our web site, however we are nervous about using an image of Mickey. So the photo on this page has been taken from the ACMG web site – we aren’t sure who the person is in the picture, but it probably isn’t Peter!

For the 2006 edition of Experience the Mountain Parks, Peter provided a story entitled, What Lies Beyond? You’ll find it on Page 10.
