COVID-19: Laurentien is maintaining operations

Updated, April 21 at 1PM.

Following the recommendations from the Government and Health Specialists from the World Health Organization (WHO), Laurentien has decided to implement new procedures at the level of our operations in order to reduce the spread of the virus and its possible impact on our clients and manufacturing capacities. The situation is evolving on a daily basis; however, we are confident that our standards in terms of safe practices and security measures will allow us to adapt to the current public health crisis and minimize the impact on our operations.

If you have questions in regards to these uncertain times, we invite you to communicate with your advisor.

In closing, we would like to express our unwavering support to the people affected by these unprecedented times and would like to express our gratitude to all the health care workers, frontline workers and the governments who are working diligently to find adequate solutions.

2020 Yearbook

As the yearbook’s pages can be done from home with our online tools, we encourage all committee members to continue working on their projects. Here are some recommendations for the advancement on your project: 

  • Make sure that all the committee members have the same application for phone calls or video chats: Skype, Messenger, FaceTime, Blizz.
  • In regards to the work that still needs to be completed, plan a few virtual meetings to gather the remainder of your information and to delegate the pages that still need to be completed.
  • Establish the best method of communication for follow-ups and questions that the team will have: email, telephone, Messenger.
  • You have the option to reuse last year’s templates. Simply send us the list of pages that you need or contact us for the steps on how you can retrieve the pages yourself.

Your collaboration in respecting the final date to submit your materials is still necessary. If you feel that the deadline may not be met, it is important to communicate with us so we can evaluate the possibility of changing the final submission date for some of your pages or change your delivery date.

For our clients whose delivery may be affected by the new government obligations to close our offices: We will contact the person responsible for the project within the next few days to discuss the best solution possible.
