BRAMPTON--Wilfrid Morin, Eng., M.A.Sc., was recognized as the Gold Medal Award recipient at this year's Engineers Canada Awards gala.  Morin was honored for his demonstrated leadership beneficial to both the engineering profession and his community in the Eastern Townships of Quebec. The Gold Medal Award is the highest recognition of its kind in engineering in Canada.

A consulting engineer with expertise in civil, highway and water treatment engineering, Morin headed Teknika HBA, a Quebec engineering firm of 1,100 employees.  His management and focus on workplace quality of life earned the company the title of "Best Employer" from the Défi Meilleurs Employeurs in the 2008 and 2009 Large Business category.  In 2010, the firm received the title for the third year in a row and was inducted into the Défi Meilleurs Employeurs Hall of Fame.  Teknika HBA merged with Trow Global in 2008, helping to later create exp, a world-class engineering company with more than 3,400 employees.
