Marketing Director Wins Glenn Beatty Award
Canadore College Marketing Director, Barry Bousfield, was a recipient of the 2006 Glenn Beatty Award on May 3 for his work and effort with the Skills Canada Qualifying Competition at Canadore College in April.
Glenn Beatty was a participant in the CAD, CAM, CNC contests and gold medal winner in the 1997 Ontario Technological Skills Competition and then progressed to the Canadian Skills Competition held in Red Deer, AB for another Gold medal performance that same year. Following his outstanding performance at the skills competition, at both the provincial and national level, Glenn was hired by ATS Automation Tooling Systems in Cambridge, ON.
Grateful for the opportunity given to him and the impact that it had on his life, Glenn returned to Skills Canada – Ontario in 1998 as a volunteer.
In January of 1999, Glenn was tragically killed in a car accident, representing a tremendous loss to the organization, the community and to all those who knew him.
As a tribute to Glenn, Skills Canada – Ontario presents the Glenn Beatty Award annually to a volunteer, or volunteers, who embody the dedication and passion for Skills Canada – Ontario that Glenn had.
