The Vanier College Foundation works to increase the financial resources available to the College so that it may continue to offer quality education to its students in a stimulating and enriching environment. The resources, made available through the College, are designated as:
Financial Aid- Textbook Loan Program: at the beginning of each semester, students in need submit an application to participate in the Textbook Loan Program. In this program, students are loaned brand new textbooks free of charge for the duration of the semester (or as long as the book is required course reading). The textbooks are returned at the end of the semester and sold back to the Vanier Bookstore with the proceeds being reinvested in the Textbook Loan Program.
- Emergency Loans: the Foundation provides emergency loans to students who are experiencing immediate financial difficulties. Emergency Loans may include such items as rent, extraordinary utility bills, utilizes, or a significant and unanticipated household expense.
- Food Vouchers: students who are unable to afford weekly groceries can participate in the Food Voucher program which provides coupons that can be exchanged for groceries at Loblaws supermarkets.

VANIER COLLEGE SYMPOSIUM ON THE HOLOCAUST AND GENOCIDE
For more than two decades Vanier in conjunction with the Holocaust Education and Genocide Prevention Foundation has been the only college in Quebec, Canada to sponsor a weeklong event dedicated to educating students about the Holocaust. The Symposium offers a unique opportunity to sensitize Vanier’s students and staff as well as members of the community-at-large to the horrors of the past while also focusing on current discrimination, prejudice, and genocide.
Each year event organizers plan a comprehensive calendar of activities involving guest-speakers, lectures, films, survivor testimony, and student participation. The symposium introduces and underscores the interconnectedness of critical thinking, historical inquiry, and ethical principles. At the same time, using primary source material, event organizers encourage students to perceive hatred as antithetical to the goals of education.
Vanier is committed to continuing the journey of Holocaust education. We believe it is essential to take all the necessary means to ensure the symposium continues to take place at Vanier for years to come in order to ensure that future generations remain informed about the past. It is crucial to do so since exploring the Holocaust and genocide helps highlight the personal responsibilities that citizens bear to combat antisemitism, racism, and all forms of bigotry and hatred.
If you wish to donate, please make your cheque payable to the Vanier College Foundation and mail to the address indicated below. Please indicate The Holocaust Annual Symposium fund in the subject line of your cheque. To pay online by credit card, please click here (Donate Now) and choose The Holocaust Annual Symposium fund from the drop down menu. Tax receipts are available for donations of $10 or more.
Thank you for helping us continue to say “never again”.

NOUVEAU – VOYAGE SCOLAIRE SUR LA CÔTE-NORD DU QUÉBEC
Le Nord : territoires et imaginaires est un cours complémentaire en français qui sera offert en mai-juin 2019 au cégep Vanier, un cégep anglophone de Montréal. Dans le cadre de ce cours, 30 jeunes étudiants et 2 professeurs partiront en autocar du 25 mai au 5 juin sur la Côte-Nord et la Basse-Côte-Nord du Québec. Les objectifs du cours sont multiples : favoriser, chez les étudiants, une meilleure compréhension du Québec et des enjeux qui le définissent, sensibiliser la jeunesse aux réalités nord-côtières et briser les préjugés qui perdurent relativement aux régions et aux cultures amérindiennes. Votre appui financier permettra à ces jeunes Montréalais de toutes origines d’embarquer à bord du Bella Desgagnés, de découvrir un littoral magnifique et d’aller à la rencontre des habitants de Saint-Augustin et de Pakuashipi.
Merci d’avance de votre soutien, thank you in advance for your donation!
