Patrick Moore, an SLC alumnus and 2025 Premier’s Award winner, gave an inspiring presentation on the Kingston campus on April 23. He shared his journey from growing up in Sudbury and working in the local mining industry to becoming a Red Seal Carpenter through his training at St. Lawrence College.  Patrick’s early career was shaped by the mentorship and influence of SLC carpentry faculty Steve Dick and Jason Gibson, who encouraged his curiosity about the broader world of skilled trades. Through this mentorship, Patrick learned about the Compagnons du Devoir, a renowned French travelling trades guild with roots dating back to the 13th century. Drawn to its traditions of craftsmanship, learning, and adventure, Patrick joined the guild as an apprentice.
