Lorne Trottier’s family foundation is making a donation of $10 million to create the Trottier Energy Institute at Polytechnique Montréal. The institute’s mission is to “promote the search for solutions to help secure the future of energy in Québec, Canada and the world.” The Trottier Energy Institute will be based at Polytechnique Montréal and will bring together some 60 professors and researchers from the three Campus Montréal institutions (HEC Montréal, Polytechnique Montréal and Université de Montréal). Mr. Trottier also received an honorary degree from the University of Ontario Institute of Technology on June 7, 2013.
