Mike Moore is the former president of the Manitoba Home Builders Association who, after retiring in 2017, spent 9 years guiding members comprised of home builders, land developers, renovators, manufacturers, suppliers, designers, architects, engineers, financial institutions, and mortgage companies, lawyers, and public utilities who all work to build Manitoba’s communities.

Born and raised in Sarnia, Ontario Moore chose to move to Manitoba in 1981 where, over the years, has worked with many professionals and participated in many processes that have helped shape the Manitoba we know today. Being directly involved with planning for growth means he has worked with both experts in business and industry, and leaders in government and has seen how that relationship has both progressed and improved over time.
