“IRA award recipients demonstrate strong leadership through their personal and professional industry involvement, including efforts like Alectra's EV leadership that advances the sector, and symbolize dedication, balance, and achievement in regional, national and/or community activities, such as the Quebec Electric Vehicle Show that raises public awareness,” says EFC.

These recognitions occur as Canada EV manufacturing accelerates across the country, reflecting broader industry momentum.
