High Honors for Marjolaine Castonguay, Founder and CEO of Pesca!

The Faculty of Science and Engineering at Université Laval has recognized the outstanding professional journey of Ms. Marjolaine Castonguay by awarding her the 2024 Summa Career Award.

This prestigious distinction has been presented by the faculty for over 30 years to highlight the achievements and successes of its members. As the third biologist to receive this award, this recognition reflects the remarkable perseverance Marjolaine has demonstrated throughout her career.

A biologist with the dream of founding a biology consulting firm in Gaspésie—her adopted region—Marjolaine combined her entrepreneurial spirit with her deep values of respect and quality client service to build Pesca into a company now recognized as a leader in environmental consulting. Surrounded by her three children and a dedicated team who continue to carry out Pesca’s mission, the company remains a driving force in environmental progress in both Quebec and Canada.

Congratulations, Marjolaine! Your success inspires the next generation of entrepreneurs and environmental professionals, and proves that with determination and a strong team, we can reach great heights.
