Bernard Jodoin Scholarships

Background
These scholarships are to financially assist students in the three schools of architecture in Quebec and to perpetuate the memory of Bernard Jodoin, FIRAC. The scholarships are funded by a generous gift from Mrs. Gisèle B. Jodoin. Bernard Jodoin founded the firm of Jodoin, Lamarre, Pratte et associes in 1958. He presided over the Organizing Committee of the Order of Architects of Quebec and was one of the founders of the Association of Architects in Private Practice in Quebec. Mr. Jodoin was a member of the National Research Council in Ottawa, a Fellow of the Royal Architectural Institute of Canada and a recipient, posthumously, of the Medal of Merit of the Order of Architects of Quebec.
