Collège Montmorency has cancelled six program cohorts in the wake of budget cuts imposed by the Government of Québec’s higher education ministry, reports Courrier Laval. Collège Montmorency directrice du Bureau de la performance institutionnelle et de l’innovation Véronique Leboeuf stated that cégeps are expected to absorb budget reductions in select priority areas. Montmorency has responded to these budget cuts by cancelling six cohorts for the Winter 2025 semester, including cohorts in its emergency call centre dispatcher, cybersecurity, and human resources management techniques certificate programs. Currently enrolled students are not affected by the cancellation and the cégep instructors’ union noted that these cuts will affect planned jobs rather than current jobs.
