Collège de Rosemont

“Lost in thought?” a voice startled me. I blinked, turning to face a fellow traveler admiring Collége de Rosemont. Collége de Rosemont has quite the story. Founded in 1954 by Father Gerard Cornellier, this French public college sits at the corner of 16th Avenue and Beaubien Street. It has blossomed into a vital part of the Rosemont–La Petite-Patrie borough. Originally named Collège de Rosemont, it officially became Cégep de Rosemont in 2024. This change aimed to solidify its place within the larger network of Quebec CEGEPs. Collége de Rosemont is more than just classrooms.
