For 20 Years, a Handcrafted Tradition: The Story Behind the Accolades Trophies
Every year, during the Accolades Awards, there is one moment that captures everyone’s attention: when the winners take the stage to receive their trophy.
For them, it represents far more than an award. It symbolizes years of hard work, perseverance, innovation, and commitment to our business community.
But before finding its way into the hands of an exceptional entrepreneur or organization, each trophy begins its journey somewhere else… in Jocelyne’s workshop.
A Work of Art That Tells a Story of Excellence
For the past 20 years, Jocelyne has been handcrafting the trophies for the Accolades Awards.
When designing the trophy, she was guided by a clear vision: to create a work of art that embodies the same qualities as its recipients.
The design and creation of the Accolades trophy were developed with the recipients’ commitment to excellence in mind.
Every detail, finish, and design element reflects this intention to create a lasting symbol that truly represents the businesses and organizations contributing to the economic vitality of the West Island.
20 Years of Passion
For two decades, Jocelyne has crafted each trophy with the same attention to detail, the same passion, and the same commitment to excellence.
Behind every award presented at the Accolades Gala are countless hours of meticulous work, remarkable craftsmanship, and a deep sense of pride in contributing to a tradition that celebrates the achievements of our business community.
Her work is a reminder that the greatest accomplishments often come from passion, dedication, and the desire to create something truly meaningful.
More Than a Trophy, a Symbol of Our Mission
At the West Island Montreal Chamber of Commerce, our mission is to support, empower, and highlight the businesses and organizations that contribute to the economic vitality of our region.
The Accolades Awards are one of the strongest expressions of this mission. Each year, the awards shine a light on leaders, teams, and organizations that innovate, inspire, and help move our community forward.
The trophy they receive is much more than an object. It is a symbol of their journey, their impact, and the recognition of their community.
For the past 20 years, thanks to Jocelyne’s talent, this recognition has come to life in the form of a unique work of art, crafted with the same level of excellence as the individuals and organizations it celebrates.
Thank You, Jocelyne
