Biographical history
Gerry L. Roy was born in New Brunswick and studied pre-engineering at St. Francis Xavier University in Nova Scotia before obtaining his B.Eng (Civil) at McGill in 1952. He spent 3 years as a field engineer on the construction of oil refineries, including the Petro Fina refinery (now Petro Canada) in Montreal.
Roy went into consulting engineering with a small Montreal firm, eventually becoming partner. For a year he was in structural and municipal design before moving on to project management. Roy managed the design and construction supervision of the new towns of Port Cartier, Gagnon, Wabush and Churchill Falls. He managed major infrastructure works of Expo '67 and the cities of Riyadh and Medinah in Saudi Arabia. Roy participated in several joint ventures including those that established concepts for Mirabel Airport and Nuns' Island and the design and construction of the Abu Dhabi International Airport. He also led the preparation of numerous feasibility studies on a variety of projects. In later years he devoted much of his time to marketing his firm's services in Canada and abroad.
Gerry L. Roy retired in 1987 and remained active in community activities and in the St. Francis Xavier and McGill Alumni Associations.
