Cégep de la Gaspésie et des Îles has inaugurated a new residence for its Carleton-sur-Mer campus. The facility—which is within walking distance of the cégep—includes 24 apartments, a laundry room, and a terrace. Students who are coming from outside of the region will be prioritized for these spaces, as a goal of the residence is to make higher education in the region more accessible. The residence is shared with a vocational training centre called the Centre de formation professionnelle L’Envol, which provided the land and in return will use five apartments for its students. The project was funded by $7.7M from the Government of Québec.
