Di Piazza, Bruno
- Hello everyone,
- I am presently working for Développement économique Canada (Canada
Economic Development / www.dec-ced.gc.ca) in Montreal. I transferred
from the office located in Sept-Îles at the beginning of last year
(April 2000). I work as an Advisor for the Northern Quebec Region, that
is, for the James Bay and Nunavik territories. Needless to say, that
it's a challenging and a whole new world over there!
- After I graduated from the Université du Québec à Trois-Rivières in
Accounting and Finance I returned to Sept-Îles to work as a
Socio-Economic Development Agent at the local Société d'aide au
développement des collectivités (SADC). I was basically
repsonsible to help develop and diversify the economic activity of the
Lower North Shore through a special development Fund. That job led me to
work for the Federal Public Sector where I have been working since. Do
not hesitate to e-mail me at : bruno.dipiazza@dec-ced.gc.ca. Email me :)
Driscoll, Curtis

Durepos, Lindsey
Dykhuis, Sandra
- Hello fellow ex-classmates! After Sept-Iles, I went to McGill for one undergraduate year and then finally got accepted into medical school at Sherbrooke. Four years later I transferred back to McGill to finish my residency and fellowship. I've been married since 1993. No kids yet but hoping for some soon now that we are settled.
- We live in Connecticut somewhere between New York City, Boston, and the Atlantic coast. I own a private medical office and practice as a family doctor. The hospital where I admit patients is a lot like the one in Sept-Iles and people here are very friendly. I am thrilled that someone took the time to prepare this web site and hope to hear from my old QEHS buddies.
- 2002 Update: I have not had a chance to peruse the site in the last 18 months from being too busy procreating. Yeah! Annemarie is now 16 months old and if all goes as planned, she will have sibling in 2003. Work is about the same. I now have a great business partner and we are making plans to expand the practice. I think we'll be in the States for a while longer, despite Bush...
- Someone told me that I am planning a reunion - not true. I wish I could pull off something like that, but my geographic location just makes it too hard to do this. I think someone more centrally located would be in a better position for planning, especially if there is a hall to rent, catering, etc. I would be interested in helping out if anyone wants to take the initiative to start this project. It would be fab to see y'all!
Bye for now! Sandra
- (update : 18-11-2005) Well, it's about time I update my bio. I moved back to Quebec in 2004 and now live in Beaconsfield. I tried a job in a semi-private clinic but hated it, and now I'm in a smaller clinic, building up a practice of old and sick individuals. My other job is at the CLSC, where I'm happy to do some home visits for people that are too sick to leave home. It is really rewarding, no kidding.
Still only one child. Didn't have any luck with a second one so far but that's OK. Same husband since 1993 - so I'm not doing too bad. Write to me at : sandra.dykhuis@videotron.ca. Bye!

Geronazzo, Steve
- After graduating from QEHS, I studied Pure and Applied Science at the Cegep de Sept-Iles. I then was accepted in the Computer Science Department at Concordia University. I completed one year but realized that it wasn't what I wanted to do so I then transferred into Athletic Therapy.
- I did my internship in 1994 at Action Sport Physio (in Montreal) and continued to work there once I completed my degree. I worked in the clinic but also took care of different sports teams. I also became specialized in the field of isokinetic strengthening and evaluation on a machine called CYBEX "Norm".
- Over the years, I performed evaluations on many athletes ranging from amateur to olympic caliber athletes. I had the chance to work with athletes from the Montreal Alouettes, gymnasts (like Emily Fournier, Julie Beaulieu, and Alexander Jeltkov who were at the 2000 Olympics), and best of all athletes/artists from around the world who joined the Cirque du Soleil.
- In 1997, I became manager at Action Sport Physio. I was in charge of "running" the clinic but continued doing CYBEX evaluations. At about that time, I became a CYBEX consultant travelling in Eastern Canada giving inservices to hospitals and private clinics who recently had purchased a CYBEX "Norm" machine.
- In July 2000, I left Action Sport Physio after 6 years of service and moved back to Sept-Iles. In October 2000, I accepted a job in Quebec City where I was in charge of the Cybex Department.
- In September 2002, the clinic I worked for in Quebec city went bankrupt. A few weeks later I was able to get some of the old employees to form a COOP and try to go into business for ourselves. After seven months of hard work, I am happy to say that our clinic is now open for business. I am General Manager of the clinic and will continue doing Cybex evaluations. The clinic's name is "Centre de réadaptation physique de Québec."
- In May 2008, I was given a two year contract at the Provincial government (Direction de la santé publique). I was in charge of the fall prevention program for the elderly population.
- In August 2010, my contract was transfered to the FADOQ-RQCA. I've been there since and am coordinator for three different programs... VIACTIVE, P.I.E.D and Aîné-Avisé.
- Update May 2012 : Still at the FADOQ-RQCA and am in charge of the same three programs.
