2024 PREMIER'S AWARDS
As long as she can remember, the construction industry has been part of Lisa Bertram's DNA. With her family's company,
Bertram Construction, operating since 1934, she spent her early years running through the lumber yard, helping with
small construction projects and even working her first part-time job. But before Bertram would work her way up to her
current role as the company's president, she sought opportunities to grow independently, broaden her horizons and
enhance her skills.
First and foremost, Bertram knew hands-on training would be a vital next step in setting the stage for her successes to
come—and that is precisely what she found at Georgian College with its industry-experienced instructors and experiential
learning opportunities. She credits the program's co-op placements with allowing her to expand her toolkit of tangible
skills and introducing her to new focus areas she hadn't been exposed to before.

over an enduring 30-year career
