Polytechnique Montréal is saddened by the death of Bernard Lamarre

March 30, 2016

Polytechnique Montréal is greatly saddened by the announcement of the death of Bernard Lamarre, one of its boldest and most brilliant graduates, who helped usher in the birth of a modern industrialized Québec. On behalf of the entire Polytechnique community, CEO Christophe Guy and Board of Directors Chair Michèle Thibodeau-DeGuire offer their sincere condolences to Mr. Lamarre’s entire family and to his friends and associates.

“Bernard Lamarre was a leading figure in Québec engineering, a committed builder who was always very dedicated to the education of a talented and passionate new generation,” Mr. Guy said. “Polytechnique is grateful to him for his profound and constant commitment to his alma mater during his term as Chair of the Board from 2002 to 2012. Bernard Lamarre is an emblematic figure, both for his peers and for the faculty and students.”

Ms. Thibodeau-DeGuire, who succeeded Mr. Lamarre as Polytechnique Board Chair in 2013, added: “Bernard Lamarre headed one of the world’s 10 biggest engineering firms. With his entrepreneurial spirit and his pragmatism, leadership and visionary outlook, he masterfully led major projects that are now the pride of Québec and that are recognized worldwide.”

Tribute to a visionary engineer, outstanding businessman and renowned philanthropist – Mr. BERNARD LAMARRE (1931-2016)
