Cameron Goss (Year 4 CivE) was honoured with Pomerleau‘s Excellence Award at their inaugural Toronto Intern Appreciation Dinner on Thursday, March 27, 2025.
Goss successfully completed his PEY Co-op, extending it to an 18-month role, with Pomerleau’s project team at the University of Toronto Academic Wood Tower (UTAT) and was the only student in the Toronto region, out of 14 student winners across Canada, to receive the award.
“Cameron consistently exceeded expectations, demonstrating an unwavering commitment to excellence and a strong drive to embrace new challenges. His growth throughout this internship has been remarkable, and we are excited to see his continued development within the Toronto office and the broader Pomerleau family,” says CivMin alumnus Kristopher Deutschendorf (CivE 1T6+PEY, MEng 1T9) Superintendent at Pomerleau. “It has been a privilege to mentor and work alongside such a talented and dedicated individual.”
Goss reflects on his appreciation for the award and his future career, “This award is a testament to the investment that people like [Deutschendorf], the entire UTAT team, and the Pomerleau family have made in me. I’m excited to return to Pomerleau this spring to continue learning and take on the challenges this industry has to offer.”
This event was the last of the Pomerleau Intern Appreciation Dinner series after previously hosting events in Halifax, Vancouver, Victoria, and Ottawa. These gatherings brought together students from multiple universities, mentors, leaders and Pomerleau’s academic partners. This past year, 65 students completed 80 internships in the Atlantic Region, Ontario and British Columbia, with only 14 students across Canada receiving recognition with the Excellence Award. They gained hands-on experience, growing their skills, and making meaningful contributions to the company’s projects.
