Dawson to skate and in 1967, moved to Whitehorse.
Peggy worked hard for the Whitehorse skating community. She initially
became involved with the Whitehorse Skating Club and was later
a founding member of the Fireweed Figure Skating Club. She worked
in almost every capacity of skating, serving on various committees

arranging music and coordinating carnivals. As the Yukon's first
qualified judge Peggy judged Yukon competitions for close to thirty
years. Peggy also assisted with many Arctic Winter Games. She
was a chaperone, organized trials and in 1992 coordinated the competition
held in Whitehorse.
