Bernard Lamarre (1931-2016)

We regret to announce the passing of Barnard Lamarre, a giant of Canadian engineering. He was one of the 44 original CAE Fellows. From his original citation:

“Bernard Lamarre started work as a soils mechanics engineer with the firm of Lalonde & Valois eventually becoming president and chief executive officer of the firm later called Lavalin Group. In 1985, he was made an Officer of the Order of Canada in recognition for his numerous and varied accomplishments which earned him a remarkable reputation as an engineer, businessman, and patron. He was also made an Officer of the National Order of Quebec and was promoted to Grand Officer in 2013. He was awarded a Doctor of Laws, honoris causa from Concordia University. ”
