Manufacturing is a hands-on technical education course. Our primary focus is metalwork and the sky's the limit for the projects we can build. If it can be made out of metal, there is a good chance we can make it in our shop.
Manufacturing at Governor Simcoe is taught by Mr. Horsfall. Prior to joining the technological education team at Governor Simcoe, Mr. Horsfall spent a long career as a Tool and Die Maker in the automotive industry. He has worked on and built dies for a number of recognizable vehicles on the road today. Including the Dodge Demon, Jeep Wrangler, and the Jeep Gladiator. Mr. Horsfall was even a champion jouster!
