Our story

1979

Bell Canada invites Robert Paquette to bid for a phone cabling contract. He founds “R.P. Cables Installation” and obtains the contract. With his son, Alain Paquette, he will make phone cabling for the city of Laval, where he will then settle on Alexandre Street. Soon, the company wins the contract for East Montreal, and then downtown. R.P. Cables Installation will increase from 1 to 22 installation teams from 1979 to 1989. Fun fact: their contract with Bell will lead them to make the call services on the residential side, like changing the small light bulbs in the Princess phones. They will also do the phone booths maintenance.
