His years of service to the development of the trucking industry in Ontario and to the trucking association resulted in his being awarded the Order of Canada in 1978 along with the nickname \u201cMr. Trucking\u201d. Mr. Goodman was one of the moving forces behind the establishment of the Foundation and was its Executive Director from its beginning until 1978.<\/p><\/div><h3 style=\"font-family: Poppins, sans-serif; color: #324a6d;\">The Bud Barr Award<\/h3><div><p>The Bud Barr Award consists of a single scholarship for an eligible first-year student enrolled in a full-time, recognized program in an accredited Canadian university.<\/p><p>The award is named for Mr. William &#8220;Bud&#8221; Barr, who served as the Foundation&#8217;s Executive Director from 1992 to 2005, following his retirement from a long career in the Ontario trucking industry. Prior to managing the Foundation, he served on its board of directors for several terms, during which time he was a strong advocate for the charity. Bud was a fixture in the Ontario trucking industry, and an active member with the Ontario Trucking Association for decades during which time he held nearly every volunteer position that existed. The Bud Barr Award honours the memory of William &#8220;Bud&#8221; Bar who passed away in 2009.<\/p><\/div><h3 style=\"font-family: Poppins, sans-serif; color: #324a6d;\">The George P.
