After 25 years at the helm of Traverse Oka-Hudson, Claude Desjardins announces a change of guard at the head of the company. Indeed, management of the ferry will now be ensured by a father and son duo, Serge and Philippe Daignault.
“My journey at the ferry has allowed me to take on some great challenges. From the acquisition in 1999 of a very artisanal but very endearing ferry, through the steps leading to dredging, followed by the design, construction and commissioning of our two great ferries that will continue to sail proudly on Lac des Deux-Montagnes for a long time to come.”underlined Mr. Desjardins on the Oka-Hudson Traverse social networks.
It was in 1999 that Claude Desjardins and his wife, Line, embarked on the adventure. Over the years, the couple’s two children, Élie and Arielle, joined the business. “Having worked with them allowed us to experience great complicity and make us a united family”he adds.
Finally, Mr. Desjardins wished to greet the many partners as well as La Traverse’s customers.
“I extend my sincere thanks and greetings to all the people with whom I had the opportunity to work in the MRCs of Deux-Montagnes and Vaudreuil-Soulanges, the towns of Hudson and Oka, it was an honor for me to be by your side. Our loyal suppliers, consultants and collaborators, you have each played an important role in the success of our projects and our daily lives. Of course, our precious customers, faithful to the meeting from spring to fall, I thank you deeply for being part of my adventure and know that I appreciated the many chats we had over time. But above all, I was able to count on a great team. Each and every one of you has brought me a lot of pleasure on a daily basis. We have developed a way of completing our working days with good humor and bursts of laughter. You gave me a lot of pride to hear or read the many comments on your way of welcoming our customers. I will always have happy memories of each of you.”
