July 20, 2023 – Under the banner “Honing the power to lead”, Electro-Federation Canada’s 2023 annual industry conference recorded its second-highest attendance to date—more than 600 members and industry guests in-person and online—and 30% of those were first-timers.

Held in person at the Fairmont Le Manoir Richelieu in Charlevoix, Que., the event featured six speaker sessions, numerous networking opportunities, companion breakfast, and the ever-popular CEMRA* Night.

But perhaps the biggest highlight is the industry awards program, where members are singled out for recognition before their peers. Congratulations to the following:

Jean Belhumeur (centre), formerly of Leviton, is the Industry Recognition Award recipient.

CEMRA Person of the Year is awarded posthumously to Denis Dumouchel, Desdowd.

Eglo Canada is recognized for Corporate Engagement.

E.B. Horsman & Son is recognized for Corporate Engagement.

Munden Enterprises is recognized for Corporate Engagement.
