ÆßÐDzʿª½± in the news

February 16th, 2022

ÆßÐDzʿª½± has been in the news over the last two weeks ever since the Minister of Higher Education said that ÆßÐDzʿª½±'s pavilion project was uncertain.

The current students of ÆßÐDzʿª½± are owed about 30 per cent more space according to the norms set by the Ministry itself. This about-face by the Quebec government, which had previously supported the project, was a major topic of discussion across Quebec.

Here are some select media reports and opinions:

 


ÆßÐDzʿª½± continuing to advocate for student space

February 16th, 2022

In the coming days and weeks, ÆßÐDzʿª½± will be rallying our students, employees, graduates, supporters and community to put pressure on the Quebec government to reconsider its decision to cancel the infrastructure project that it agreed to in December 2020. The project was meant to alleviate the overcrowding in the main building and to provide a dedicated space for ÆßÐDzʿª½±â€™s healthcare programs and other units.

The College is collaborating with CEGEP partners, the ÆßÐDzʿª½± Student Union, friends of ÆßÐDzʿª½± and community organizations, as well as with Jennifer Maccarone, our local Member of the National Assembly.

Your support as ÆßÐDzʿª½± colleagues will be called upon through an All ÆßÐDzʿª½± email from the Communications Office. Students will be contacted via Omnivox and the community in general will be informed through traditional and social media.

These messages will provide suggestions on how you can help as individuals and by sharing with your networks as we actively seek support for ÆßÐDzʿª½± through various channels. Stay tuned!
