MONTREAL, May 2, 2025 /CNW/ - Marking what is clearly a precedent in the construction industry, Équipe Laurence has designed a residential development whose site work in key roles is entirely executed and managed by women, starting with site supervisor Roxane Gaudreau-Parent of Équipe Laurence working on behalf of project promoter Anne-Philippe Lemaire and DUO General Contractor, owned by Joanie Paquette.
" For the first time in the modern history of Quebec's construction industry, at least, we're seeing a site run entirely by women. And yet, that's exactly what's happening here, with complete efficiency," said Équipe Laurence's CEO, Alexandre Latour. He declared himself greatly impressed and inspired, above all, to see a 100% female team playing key roles to perfection in the realization of the Quartier Cinq4 project, in the municipality of Prévost in the Laurentians. Sophie Ouellet of Sophie Ouellet Excavation and Érika Provost are foremen and shovel operators.
" The proof is in the pudding that a traditionally male profession can be skilfully occupied by women who, in their own original way, have shattered the glass ceiling," commented Cinq4 project promoters Anne-Philippe Lemaire and Joanie Paquette of DUO Entrepreneur général.
Nestled in Prévost, in the heart of the Laurentians, Le Quartier Cinq4 is an exclusive community of 18 semi-detached homes on Rue du Manse, offering a perfect balance of nature and modernity: new homes ideal for families and professionals seeking tranquility.
"This women's project is a testament to the excellence of these young women, who have not only opened up but blazed a new trail in a field still too often perceived as the exclusive preserve of men," continued Équipe Laurence's president.
With its unspoiled natural surroundings, picturesque landscapes and multiple options for outdoor activities nearby, this new residential community is the perfect reflection of a living environment conducive to strengthening family ties as much as creating unforgettable memories, not to mention the presence of services essential to daily life nearby, thanks to its ideal geographic location.
For Équipe Laurence, a new business model in the construction industry has been firmly established in the Laurentians.

U.S. Exhibitors at 2025 CISCE Grow by 15%, Highlighting Strengthened Supply Chain Cooperation

BEIJING, July 25, 2025 /CNW/ -- The third China International Supply Chain Expo (CISCE) was held from July 16 through 20 in Beijing, providing a premier platform for global communication and cooperation in supply chain development, and witnessed a 15% increase on the number of U.S. exhibitors compared to last year, reaffirming the position as the largest group of international participants. Michael Hart, Pr esident of AmCham China, praised CISCE for fostering collaboration and innovation across borders. "The Supply Chain Expo has provided a fantastic platform for communication and cooperation," Hart said. "I'm pleased to share that U.S. exhibitors have grown significantly this year, with 60% of them being Fortune Global 500 companies. Additionally, we are excited to welcome NVIDIA, a leader in American technology, making its debut at CISCE." Yu Jianlong, Vice C hairman of the China Council for the Promotion of International Trade (CCPIT), highlighted the importance of the event in advancing bilateral economic ties. "The foundation of China-U.S. relations lies in people-to-people ties," Yu said. "At this critical juncture, Chinese and American businesses are taking concrete actions to strengthen supply chain cooperation, ensuring stable and unimpeded global supply chains." This year also marks AmCham China's first participation at CISCE with its own exhibition booth, working alongside member companies to showcase innovative solutions and foster partnerships. Hart emphasized AmCham China's 2025 Navigator Program, launched during last year's expo, which focuses on cultivating supply chain leadership and collaboration with Chinese hubs. Shandong's Role in Supply Chain Resilience Hart also highlighted Shandong Province as a key player in global supply chain resilience. Since the first U.S. investment in Shandong in 1986, nearly 1,000 American companies have invested in the province, establishing it as a major partner in bilateral trade. "Shandong is one of China's most dynamic provinces, excelling in manufacturing, agriculture, port logistics, and new energy," Hart said. Its strong industrial ecosystem, efficient infrastructure, and skilled workforce have attracted many AmCham China member companies to establish production bases and regional hubs. CISCE continues to serve as a vital platform for global supply chain cooperation, providing opportunities for enterprises to explore new collaborations and drive economic growth. The expo showcases breakthroughs in supply chain innovation and fostering stronger partnerships across borders. For more highlights of the event, please visit
