History
J.P.Cahorn was born, raised and educated, the son of an architect, in Switzerland. When he had completed his education he worked on projects involving reinforced concrete structures in Switzerland. It was after marrying a woman from Montreal that he moved to Canada in 1973 and became a landed immigrant settling in Fredericton, New Brunswick. He found work only after 10 days after setting foot on the east coast. He worked there for the New Brunswick Power Commission, but recession hit in the early ‘80s, so he moved West to a job in Peterborough, Ontario. Within a short time, he decided to start out on his own. His business was started in 1983 and continued until he retired in 2005. There is no record of his working directly with any staff. He stayed as a one-man operation, but one who was called on with confidence. After retiring he moved to Nova Scotia.
A footnote is that his wife’s parents had a harrowing escape from Nazi-occupied France during the Second World War. J.P. assisted his wife in writing a published account of that escape.
