Cégep du Vieux Montréal and its foundation have officially separated as of the beginning of November. La Presse reports that the cégep had not sent a representative to sit on the foundation’s board of directors since 2024 and that there was a conflict around the purpose of the foundation. Foundation founder Michel Gagné explained that the foundation will no longer include the cégep’s name in its name, but it will continue to support students at the cégep with its funds. Cégep du Vieux Montréal Directrice générale Mylène Boisclair said that the institution is considering options such as the establishment of an internal endowment fund.
