About Collège Lionel-Groulx

According to Wikipedia, Collège Lionel-Groulx is a general and vocational college located in Sainte-Thérèse, Quebec, Canada. The college has about 5,200 full-time students and 2,000 continuing education students. History The college traces its origins to the merger of several institutions which became public ones in 1967, when the Quebec system of CEGEPs was created. The college was established September 14, 1967 and named in honour of the Quebec historian Lionel Groulx, a former student of the Seminary of Sainte-Thérèse. Schools include the Sainte-Rose Business School, the Normal School of Saint-Jérôme and the Seminary of Sainte-Thérèse. On October 8, 1968, the school was subject to a strike, which led to student mobilizations of October 1968. In 1969, the college acquired all the assets and property of the Seminary of Sainte-Thérèse. At the end of the 1960s, a teaching reform led to the opening of the theatre school, one of two integrated into junior colleges.
