Atwill-Morin aims to reach new heights with the arrival of a new Director, Major Projects Scaffolding, at its subsidiary Atwill-Morin Scaffolding Français
MONTREAL, Aug. 14, 2025 /CNW/ - In anticipation of the rollout of major projects planned under the Quebec Infrastructure Plan (QIP), Atwill-Morin Scaffolding, a division of Atwill-Morin, is setting out to conquer new markets, backed by investments of more than $2 million in new state-of-the-art equipment and additional staff to meet the ever-growing demand for this type of specialized service in the construction and major works industry. This was announced today by Atwill-Morin President Matthew Atwill-Morin, who specified that a new Director of Major Projects Scaffolding, Éric Landry, had just been appointed to this strategic position within the company as it sets out to conquer new markets in the field of major projects. Mr. Landry's arrival at the company is in line with a strategy to obtain contracts related to major civil projects such as bridges and infrastructure, many of which, according to experts, are reaching the end of their useful life. With a certificate in quality assurance management, materials logistics management, and supply chain management from ÉTS (École de Technologie Supérieure) and a certificate in administration from the École des sciences de la gestion ESG – UQAM, Mr. Landry has acquired solid expertise in contract management, planning, and administration, notably as a scaffolding project manager for the renovation of major urban infrastructure such as the Turcot Interchange, the Jacques Cartier Bridge, the Olympic Stadium, the CUSUM, and many others. He has also worked in the field of steel structures. " The arrival of Éric Landry gives us pragmatic access to new markets in the major works sector, which is likely to experience significant growth in the coming years with planned public investments of $164 billion ($164B) under the Quebec government's 2025-2035 Infrastructure Plan," said Mr. Atwill-Morin. He expressed his conviction that Atwill-Morin Échafaudage would play a leading role in ensuring the safety of multiple major projects on the Quebec government's agenda. " For the entire team, this means more volume and potential revenue, not to mention the maintenance and creation of jobs," said the new director, Éric Landry, who is pleased to have joined a large company that cultivates important family values by prioritizing the health and safety of its staff, rigor, integrity, and transparency in the execution of its mandates.

Revamp of Maisonneuve-Rosemont Hospital 'not going fast enough,' Quebec health minister admits
Maintenance costs are growing at the Maisonneuve-Rosemont Hospital in Montreal's east end while construction for the long-awaited modernization project appears to be delayed — again. "I'm pushing the project as fast as I can," Quebec Health Minister Christian Dubé told reporters Thursday morning, adding he'd hoped construction would begin this summer. During an exchange at the National Assembly Wednesday with Québec Solidaire health critic Vincent Marissal, Dubé said he needs "a few more months" to continue analyzing the project before the shovels can hit the ground. He said he's hoping to come up with a timeline and precise start date for construction this year. "I seriously thought we would be able to see excavators on the hospital grounds this year," said Dubé. "I'll be the first to say it's not going fast enough." Marissal shot back at Dubé, saying the construction site is "still being planned, but nothing is happening." Quebec unveiled its budget on Tuesday, which showed the anticipated project to revamp the hospital remained in the "planning" phase in the Quebec Infrastructure Plan (PQI), despite construction slated to start this summer. According to Radio-Canada, there is still a possibility that some construction work will begin later this year. The Maisonneuve-Rosemont Hospital, whose facilities date back to the 1950s, serves nearly a third of Montreal's population Montreal. Close to $140 million has been invested since 2014 to help maintain the aging hospital, according to documents obtained by Radio-Canada. Dubé officially launched the revamp project in 2023, telling Radio-Canada at the time that construction should begin in 2024. Last year, Christine Fréchette, the minister responsible for the metropolis and Montreal region, said construction would begin in summer 2025 instead. "There are so many announcements that were rushed, including mine and I'll say it: rushed because we didn't have the right numbers. We didn't have the right analysis," Dubé told Marissal Wednesday.
