Stelpro Awards EFC Scholarship to University Laval Electrical Engineering Student
Stelpro has awarded Francis Quevillon $3,500 through the Stelpro 360 Performance EFC Scholarship Award. The scholarship was awarded by Connie Chabot, Stelpro’s VP of Sales and Marketing, when Francis visited Stelpro’s factory in Saint-Bruno, PQ. He is studying electrical engineering at University Laval in Quebec City.
“As the electricity and electrical heating markets are growing, Stelpro continuously looks for ambitious and eager individuals such as Francis to enter this field as well as our team,” says Chabot. “Skilled individuals like Francis are as asset to this field and Stelpro is proud to have the opportunity to provide him support for his educational endeavours.”
“I would like to thank EFC and particularly Stelpro for this great scholarship,” said Quevillon during his visit. “It will certainly allow to continue my studies with less financial burden.”
EFC’s scholarship program is more than funding students, says 2015 ERC Scholarship Program Chair Joris Myny. “It is an opportunity to promote our industry in every Canadian university and college and showcase the electrical industry as a viable career choice in Engineering, Sales, Marketing, Finance, Management, Operations, Information Technology and Human Resources.”
EFC is now accepting sponsors for the 2016 scholarship program. To find out more, contact John Jefkins, jjefkins@electrofed.com.

Pro Electric LLC had a customer that had just constructed a new horse barn and was looking to light it quickly. The barn was designed to be lit with ten high bay lights for maximum efficacy and efficiency. Together with EiKO’s distributor partner, Platt Electric Redmond located in Redmond, Oregon, Pro Electric selected the EiKO 200W BAY-C high bay fixture, which puts out an impressive 30,000+ lumens at a 5000K color temperature. This high lumen output and the long life of the fixture – 72,000 hours – made it an ideal choice for the application.
Obviously, when lighting a barn, the security and safety of the animals, riders, and care givers is paramount. EiKO’s LED high bay products fill the space with light, eliminating shadows and blind spots.

At 14, Tom Miguel was sitting in the counselor’s office of Silverthorn Collegiate Institute in Etobicoke with his entire life ahead of him. In 1981, the world was changing, and like so many young men and women, he was faced with a world of choices that would go on to define both his career and his life.
It was in this office that some counsellor suggested becoming an electrician, and Tom’s interest was piqued. “I knew from that point on what field of studies I needed to focus on to become an electrician,” Tom said.
