CPCA Industry Awards: Recognizing Excellence and Honouring Innovation

Ottawa, ONTARIO, February 22, 2022:  CPCA is proud to announce the lineup of industry members and colleagues to be honoured this year at the Chair’s Awards Dinner at CPCA’s Annual Conference at the Fairmont Chateau Frontenac in Quebec City on May 25 and 26, 2022.

CPCA’s history of recognizing excellence and honouring innovation is as rich and steadfast as the many individuals who have shaped the coatings industry over the years. Among our award recipients we have members and colleagues who have dedicated their careers to shaping the industry, driving innovation forward and creating a legacy of dedication to both the Canadian industry and CPCA. 

CPCA will be presenting The Roy Kennedy Award to Terry Sutherland (PPG Canada) for outstanding contribution to CPCA and for epitomizing Roy Kennedy’s dedication to the Association, its members and the industry. Terry has been a valuable member of key technical committees and working groups over many years and has made significant contributions to countless submissions and consultations for the benefit not only of PPG, but the entire industry.

The Industry Achievement Award is presented to Normand Guidon (Canlak); Larry Lozinski (Cloverdale); Jake Jevric (Lorama Group); Adrian Krygsman, (Troy); Patrick Rodrigue (Peinture Micca); and CPCA’s very own Micheline Foucher who has served CPCA and its membership for 47 years. This award is presented to individuals who demonstrate exceptional achievement in advancing the interests of the industry and/or the Association.

The Industry Distinction Award will be presented to Eric Bos (Sansin); Sharon Kelly, (Kelcoatings); Pierre Chapdelaine (Peinture MF); Michele Stauffer (BASF); and Dan Goldberg (Chromaflo). These individuals are recognized for their long-term contributions to the Association at the national or local level and have retired or soon to do so.

CPCA will also recognize several 2020 — 2021 milestone anniversaries of our membership including; Debro, Rust-Oleum and Tnemec who recently celebrated 100 years in business; Société Laurentide for their 70th year in business; and Clariant for 25 years in business. Last, but certainly not least, CPCA is extending a warm thank you to our past Chair, Richard Tremblay (Laurentide), formerly of Benjamin Moore, with the Chair’s Recognition Award in thanks for his service and support of CPCA.

We would like to extend a warm invitation to join us at our Annual Conference & AGM to celebrate our Award Recipients. We also want to thank all our sponsors who help make this event possible: Benjamin Moore, Canlak, Product Care, Cloverdale, PPG, Azelis, and Goudey.
