John Peter Bell
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
John Peter Bell is a former Canadian ambassador. He was concurrently appointed as Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary to Mali and Niger then to Upper Volta and to the Ivory Coast. He later became Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary to Brazil then the High Commissioner to Malaysia.
John worked at a fish cannery at Namu, British Columbia when he was 14–15 years old. The fishing port is close to Bella Bella, home to Heiltsuk Nation. These early formative interactions with the Indigenous communities inspired his later work on Indigenous rights as a career diplomat.[1]
