Paul-Aimé Sauriol was born on September 3, 1931, in Laval, Quebec. The son of a farmer, Sauriol graduated with a degree in civil engineering from the École Polytechnique de Montréal in 1955. Two years later, he founded the engineering firm Desjardins + Sauriol, which now goes by the name Dessau, alongside business partner Jean-Claude Desjardins[1]. Today, what once began as a two-man engineering consultancy employs nearly 5,000 people and is one of the largest engineering-construction companies in Canada[2].
Widely recognized and respected by his peers, Sauriol was the recipient of several notable awards, including the 1997 Josef-Hode-Keyser Award for his contributions to Quebec's transportation sector and the 1998 Dunamis Award for his contributions to the City of Laval's economic development[3]. In 2004, Mr. Sauriol received the Jean-Jacques Archambault Award, the most prestigious award in Quebec's electrical industry[4]. Following a long battle with cancer, he passed away in Laval on September 22, 2010, at age 79.
