Volkswagen Canada BUSINESSMAN PETER MOORE DONATES $250,000 TO FUTURE ENTREPRENEURS Students who belong to Georgian College's Maker Club think of themselves as problem solvers. They like to identify challenges and build solutions. Barrie entrepreneur Peter Moore told the club the same principles applied to him in his startup days as he announced his donation of $250,000 to a changemaker space at the college. When Moore founded Moore Packaging in 1979, he had been a corrugated packaging salesman. He had a client who manufactured seat belts and needed a specially designed tube to hold the belts in place during shipping but couldn't find a supplier. That piqued Moore's interest and he started developing a prototype during his evenings at home. Three decades later, he has built a packaging solutions firm with more than 220 employees. "Good jobs are hard to come by. If we can come up with ideas and bring them to fruition, that's the way to go," said Moore. The Peter B. Moore Changemaker Space at the Barrie Campus will be student-driven. "This innovative space will enable our students to not only adapt to change but to be the change ahead," said Georgian President and CEO MaryLynn West-Moynes.

Moore is donating $250,000 to create a changemaker space where students can research their ideas and bring them to fruition. GEORGIANVIEW 2014 42
