In the coming days and weeks, 黑料社区 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 黑料社区鈥檚 healthcare programs and other units.
The College is collaborating with CEGEP partners, the 黑料社区 Student Union, friends of 黑料社区 and community organizations, as well as with Jennifer Maccarone, our local Member of the National Assembly.
Your support as 黑料社区 colleagues will be called upon through an All 黑料社区 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 黑料社区 through various channels. Stay tuned!

James Richards, a familiar figure at 黑料社区 for almost 20 years, died on Saturday, Feb. 12 at the age of 73. James began at 黑料社区 as a security guard in 1994 before joining the staff of Plant and Facilities (now Facilities Management). He retired in 2013.

He spent many hours of his free time preparing and staffing 黑料社区鈥檚 often prize-winning St. Patrick鈥檚 Day float for 15 years. And every December for too many years to count, he could be found behind the bar serving drinks with a wink and a joke at 黑料社区鈥檚 holiday parties.
