Our News
Mark Martynowicz, the Director of Architecture, has been with Vallee since 2006. Licensed by the Ontario Association of Architects, Mark brought over 35+ years of design and consulting experience with him. His portfolio was impressive and recognized while working on projects such as Elementary & Secondary schools with the BHNCDSB and GEDSB; Fire Stations/EMS stations ranging from as close as Norfolk County and as far as Township of Severn; various medical facilities such as hospitals, medical centers, and dental offices; and extensive industrial facilities such as Toyotetsu and Unilever. Mark was a valuable asset to our team, and his experience, ability, and knowledge will be greatly missed. Congratulations, Mark, on your retirement, and we wish you the very best as you begin your new adventure. 
Yvonne Martin started with G. Douglas Vallee Ltd. in 1998 out on Park Road, where Vallee once had their office. Her job ranged from helping the Technicians out in the field doing fieldwork to completing accounting and HR responsibilities, but as the company expanded, Yvonne stepped out of the field and focused on Finance and HR. She continued with that for many years and, in 2021, decided it was time for her retirement. She was a woman that wore many hats while at Vallee and will be greatly missed. Congratulations, Yvonne, on your retirement, and we wish you the vest best as you begin your new adventure.
Merry Christmas 2021
