DID YOU SEE YOURSELF BECOMING HEAD OF CANADA’S LARGEST ENGINEERING AND CONSTRUCTION COMPANY WHEN YOU STARTED OUT?

No. From a young age I was interested in science, but I didn’t even think that I should go to university.

Instead, I went to CEGEP college in Trois-Rivires and graduated as a technician in metallurgy. In the meantime –and to my surprise –one of my teachers said, “Pierre, you have the talent to go to university to be an engineer.”

So I worked for one year as a technician and then went on to university and graduated in metallurgy at Montreal’s cole Polytechnique.
