Collège Saint-Alexandre de la Gatineau

Collège Saint-Alexandre de la Gatineau is a private secondary school (high school) located in Gatineau, in the Outaouais region, in the province of Quebec, Canada. It is located on Rue Saint-Louis in the Limbour neighbourhood of Gatineau. Founded in 1905 by the Communauté des pères du Saint-Esprit, the Collège is an establishment for boys and girls offering a general education program for young people in French, leading to a high school diploma. Once exclusive for boys, it became an inclusive (boys and girls) institution in 1990. Known for its solid reputation of superior education, ranking in the top 15 of all high schools in Québec, it attracts students from all over the region, particularly from the towns of Ottawa, Hull, Gatineau, Cantley, Chelsea, Aylmer, Buckingham and Masson-Angers. The school's motto is Vitam Impedere Vero, which comes from the Latin poet Juvenal. It means, "To devote one's life to the truth." The land used for the school was bought by Alonzo Wright, a Canadian politician. History The building in which the school is housed was built in 1850 by Alonzo Wright. It was at first used as a manor for parties. Wright died in 1894. After the death of his wife in 1904, the property was bought by Jesuit priests fleeing secularization in France. They sought to turn the building into a private institution where they would teach classical studies, including philosophy, Greek, and Latin. In 1912, it would become the Collège Saint-Alexandre, founded by the Congregation of the Holy Spirit. In 1965, the classical courses were abolished after extensive reforms by the Quebec government during the Quiet Revolution, in which the province acquired a large role in the education jurisdiction. Priests have gradually stopped teaching, and today the institution is as secular as public schools. In 1988–89, the first female students were admitted to the College; the first group finished secondary level in 1993. In 2004, students, who already had a strict clothing policy, started wearing a uniform.

Collège Saint-Alexandre de la Gatineau

Le collège Saint-Alexandre de la Gatineau (CSA) est une école secondaire privée située à Gatineau, en Outaouais, au Québec. L'établissement, qui était autrefois réservé aux garçons, est mixte depuis 1990. Le collège offre le programme de formation générale de la 1re à la 5e secondaire, et accueille à chaque année près de 1 000 élèves. Il recrute ses élèves principalement de la ville de Gatineau ainsi que des villes voisines de Chelsea, Cantley et Ottawa. En 2012, le collège Saint-Alexandre de la Gatineau a célébré son 100e anniversaire. Histoire Le bâtiment original est construit sur de vastes terres en 1850 par Alonzo Wright et est utilisé principalement comme manoir où sont organisées des fêtes. Alonzo Wright meurt en 1894, et après la mort de sa femme en 1904, le domaine est acheté par les pères du Saint-Esprit (spiritains) exilés de France par les lois anticléricales du gouvernement d'Émile Combes. Ils fondent sur le site une école d'agriculture appelée Institut colonial franco-canadien, en 1906, et construisent le bâtiment principal, aujourd'hui appelé le Pavillon central, l'année suivante. En 1912, l'institution est transformée en collège classique et prend le nom de collège Saint-Alexandre. Depuis, les prêtres ont cessé de donner des cours; en 1991 la propriété du collège est cédée par les Spiritains à une nouvelle corporation. Peu avant, en 1990, le collège devient mixte. Aujourd'hui, le collège Saint-Alexandre offre un enseignement conforme aux exigences du ministère de l'Éducation. Il est, en 2010, très bien classé dans le palmarès des écoles secondaires du Québec. Symboles La devise du collège Saint-Alexandre est Vitam Impendere Vero. Elle vient du poète latin Juvenal et signifie « Consacrer sa vie à la vérité ». Jean-Jacques Rousseau, philosophe français, en fit sa devise.

Complexe Desjardins

Complexe Desjardins is a mixed-use office, hotel, and shopping mall complex located in Montreal, Quebec, Canada, in the Quartier des spectacles area of Saint Catherine Street. The project was designed to develop the eastern end of downtown Montreal, it is located in the quadrilateral formed by Saint Catherine, Saint-Urbain, Jeanne Mance and René Lévesque Boulevard. Its architectural design consists of four towers of varying heights (40, 32, 27 and 20 floors), three of which house offices of the Desjardins Group, Quebec Government offices and other companies, whilst the smallest tower is a hotel, all linked together by a six storey atrium shopping centre anchored by IGA. This design produces the effect of an indoor square. It is one of very few buildings in Canada to have its own postal code prefix, H5B. The Complexe Desjardins is connected by the underground city to Place des Arts and the Place-des-Arts Metro station to the north, and the Complexe Guy-Favreau, the Palais des congrès de Montréal, and Place-d'Armes Metro station to the south. The hotel in the complex opened as the Hotel Meridien Montreal in April 1976. It was later renamed the Wyndham Montreal, then the Hyatt Regency Montreal in 2003, then the DoubleTree by Hilton Montreal in December 2018. On July 26, 1992, a man, whose body is still unidentified to this day, fell to his death fifty feet from the Complexe Desjardins. The mall is briefly featured in the 1988 film Tommy Tricker and the Stamp Traveller, in a scene where then fourteen-year-old Rufus Wainwright performs the film's theme song, "I'm Running", while the film's protagonists engage in a chase sequence. Structures Monument à Alphonse Desjardins Yves Trudeau's Monument à Alphonse Desjardins was located outside at the corner of St. Urbain and St. Catherine from 1976 to 1995 but since relocated to Parc Catchpaw, in Orford, Quebec.
