Lynn Peterson was elected as the second woman to become mayor of the city of Thunder Bay, Ontario on November 10, 2003.

Before entering municipal politics, she served four terms on the Lakehead Public School Board. For three consecutive years she was elected Chair of the Board, and concluded her career in education governance by being elected President of the Ontario Public School Boards Association.
