January 6, 2023 – It is with tremendous pleasure that Imprint Canada announces Alain Gailloux as the very deserving winner of the Robert L. Scott Memorial Award for 2022.

Alain launched his career in the industry with mentor and friend Georges Gailloux. Alain moved to selling retail and soon became a highly respected leader in the promotional products industry, and founded Agence Alain Gailloux in Val-David, Quebec.

Alain credits his passion for this business as a key to his success, which he attributes to his “incredible suppliers, fantastic customers, and the outstanding team at Agence Alain Gailloux.

He is happy to put the spotlight on his partner of 23 years, Rachel Brunet: “She really is the best of the best!”

Part of what makes Alain so beloved in the industry is his recognition and loyalty to those who have contributed to his career: “Our customer service team, Corinne Cuny and Nicole Germain are dedicated to serving our clients in the best way possible, finding solutions to always  make sure our customers are happy.

“Our sales force is always committed to our customers: Éric Lalancette and Pierre Calestagne.

“Without the support that these people provide, I cannot have had the same success.”

“One only needs to spend a few minutes with Alain to understand why so many have such high regard for Alain Gailloux,” said Tony Muccilli, publisher of Imprint Canada and Show Manager of the Imprint Canada Shows.

“Alain has such an enthusiasm for this industry and truly wants what’s best for the entire market. Alain epitomizes everything that the Robert L. Scott Award represents.”

This award is presented annually to the individual who best displays unparalleled commitment, integrity and enthusiasm for the Canadian Imprintable & Promotional Products Industry.

December 2, 2022 – It is with great sorrow that we announce the sudden passing of Cam MacKenzie at the age of 61.

Everyone who had the privilege of knowing Cam will remember his smile, kindness and wonderful sense of humour. Known for his deep love and loyalty to family, friends and the CSI/Ad Spec team, Cam will be deeply missed. 

Cam started Ad Spec Displays, part of The CSI Group, in 2002. Cam was extremely well-regarded throughout the promotional products industry. He had a special way of connecting with people, regularly going over and above for his clients. He took great pride in doing things meticulously and to the best of his abilities.

Cam’s most beautiful legacy will be the love he gave his high school sweetheart and wife of 36 years Jenny, and daughters Kirsten (son-in-law Taylor) and Victoria (future son-in-law Matt). Cam was able to hold his new grandson Owen in Calgary last weekend. Cam had many close friends, notably Steve Brown, his business partner and best friend since kindergarten. Cam’s gentleness and generosity will take on new life in those lucky to have known him.

Cam’s family welcomes your photos and tributes and has set up a virtual memory book at https://www.kudoboard.com/boards/Qj7rojCj. 

A celebration of Cam will be held on Wednesday, December 7^th from 4-7pm (6pm tribute) at the Markland Wood Golf Club (245 Markland Drive).

If attending, please RSVP by December 3, 2022 at https://CamsCelebrationOfLife.ca. The annual “Movember’ campaign was meaningful to Cam and his page is going strong. Donations can be made at https://ca.movember.com/mospace/13397739
