As part of our mission to build better communities, we were honoured to present our annual donation to the The Salvation Army Simcoe Community Church‘s Christmas Hamper program this morning. This invaluable program partners with community-based organizations, service groups, and churches to ensure individuals and families throughout Norfolk County are supplied with the food needed to prepare a festive Christmas meal. Thank you to the volunteers, staff, and everyone involved with the Christmas Hamper program who help to build a better community!

We are proud to announce that Vallee has been selected by the City of Brantford to provide our consulting services on the demolition and reconstruction of the maintenance shop at Walter Gretzky Golf Course. Our work will include conceptual design, site plan approval, design development, and construction contract administration, and we’re honoured to be entrusted with this project to make a great local golf course even better.

We are proud to announce that Andrew Vallee has received his designation from Professional Engineers Ontario and is now a fully licensed Professional Engineer. As many others who have gone through the process themselves can attest, this is no small feat and requires an incredible amount of dedication and drive, which are two qualities Andrew unequivocally possesses and demonstrates on a daily basis in his work.

Congratulations, Andrew!

Vallee would like to extend a heartfelt congratulations to Scott Puillandre on his recent designation as a Registered Professional Planner from Ontario Professional Planners Institute. It was a long but worthwhile process and we’re both proud and grateful for the hard work he put in to reach this achievement.

Congratulations, Scott!
