Gerry Price holds B.Sc. and M.Sc. degrees in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Manitoba, as well as a Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering and Applied Mechanics from Lehigh University in Pennsylvania. He joined industrial manufacturing company E.H. Price Limited (now Price Industries Limited) in 1977. During his tenure as president (which began in 1986) the company launched many new product lines, factory expansions and new business units in Canada and the US and grew tenfold in size, scope and reach. Constant throughout this development has been Gerry’s commitment to maintaining company headquarters in Winnipeg. Gerry is actively involved with many community and professional associations. In 2011, Gerry and his wife Barb were honoured as the Outstanding Philanthropists of the Year by the Manitoba Chapter of the Association of Fundraising Professionals for their generous support of initiatives in the areas of health care, arts and culture, and education.
