- July 8, 2025
On June 19, all Lemay teams came together to celebrate our biggest strength: our collective talent. At the annual Emile Awards ceremony – our internal recognition gala – we paid tribute to those who best embody the spirit, values and future of the firm.
Naming these awards after Lemay’s founder, Georges-Émile Lemay, is much more than a nod to our history: it’s a meaningful gesture, a reminder that innovation, commitment and collaboration have always been at the heart of our identity.
An opportunity to celebrate everyone’s efforts
Hosted by Marc-André Carignan, the gala took place at Théâtre Paradoxe in front of a full house of our colleagues gathered to recognize the remarkable projects and exemplary work of Lemay team members.
Simultaneously broadcast in all Lemay studios, this awards ceremony highlights the achievements, contributions, successes and commitment of our colleagues.
