National Day of Commemoration on Thursday March 11, 2021 for Covid 19 Victims Premier François Legault has recently announced that March 11, 2021 will be a Day of National Commemoration of the Victims of Covid 19. On that day, flags will be flown at half-mast, and the Premier has asked that everyone, no matter where they are, observe a minute of silence at 1 pm that day. Please remind your students to do so, and if you are teaching at that time, please take a minute of silence with your class to remember the people who have passed away due to Covid 19. Because we are mostly working from home, we may not realize it, but some of our colleagues and members of our own Vanier Community have lost loved ones this past year. Let us remember them. Thank you. Marguerite Corriveau. Communications and Corporate Affairs Mid-Term Assessment - Day Division: 3rd Reminder Reminder that the Mid-Term Assessment online module is active on OMNIVOX.

Our “Let’s Feed Fifty 2020 Holiday Campaign” recently raised $6,800 to help students in need during the holiday break. Now we can help students who are struggling to make ends meet by heling them turn the corner. The corner at this time of the year is the struggle that students face to support themselves during the last couple of months of the winter semester. Students often receive less money from government loans and bursaries; some are still struggling to pay off their school fees; and others are struggling to eat and pay rent. “Thank you so much for helping me. I truly appreciate everything you and Vanier have done for me throughout my different semesters, but mostly this one we have at the moment. I'm grateful”. -Jonathan Tshitenge Mpiana Thank you and Vanier College so very much for this. It is of great help. Have a joyful and fantastic Christmas! -Marin Gallien. (Student thanks from our “Let’s Feed Fifty 2020 Holiday Campaign”.) Please follow our fundraising thermometer (graphic) on the Vanier Website and help us reach our goal of $5,000.00 to help our students turn the corner. I have donated the first $100.00 and I challenge all members of the Vanier Community to give what they can. People or departments who donate can have their name attached to the campaign or they can chose to remain anonymous. Donations can be made directly online at https://www.canadahelps.org/en/dn/14609 (and please choose the “Let’s Turn the Corner” Fund from the menu) Or Please make your cheques payable to the Vanier College Foundation and have them sent via courier to Vanier College, 821 Sainte Croix Ave, Saint Laurent, QC H4L 3X9 C/O Janelle Villanueva. Please help us make this student-centered event a huge success and please feel free to forward names of students in financial need (often teachers and other staff have built up relationships with our students and know that they are struggling so please let us know as well so that we can help them!
