Collège Boréal’s 2018-2019 Excellence Awards winners are announced
A dedicated and committed team
Excellence Awards are presented in four categories to Collège Boréal’s staff members who demonstrate exceptional commitment to their work with students and clients, and in their contribution to Boréal’s strategic goals.
The recipients also convey Boréal’s corporate values on a daily basis: excellence, humanism, inclusion, innovation, and respect.
Five recipients
Exceptionally this year, five awards were handed out in the four categories – the award for support staff having been awarded to a computer service duo:
Support staff
- Alain Groleau, Computer Systems Support Specialist
“Whether Alain is performing small daily tasks or working on large long-term projects, he continually shows an exemplary work ethic. Alain is an expert in his field, and he does not fear challenges that seem insurmountable. He has thus commanded the respect of his peers.”
- Patrick Paquin, Computer Systems Support Specialist
“With great calm and independence, Patrick moves files forward. His dedication towards his work contributes to the amazing productivity of his team. Patrick is always positive, smiling, and collegial. He shares his good spirit and his laughs, while forever remaining professional and effective.”

Devotion and years of service
Each year, these Excellence Awards also provide an opportunity to highlight the great devotion shown by Collège Boréal’s staff members and professors who have reached the symbolic milestones of 5, 10, 15, and 20 years of service with Collège Boréal. This year, we have thanked 43 individuals for their devotion to Collège Boréal.
Collège Boréal has also celebrated the years of service of 10 staff members who will retire during the year.
