Ecole Vents Nouveau is a specialized secondary school housing 130 students with special needs from the Commission Scolaire Marie Victorin and several other adjoining french language school districts in the Montreal south shore area. Vents Nouveau was opened in 2007. It is located at 5035 rue Orchard in St. Hubert, about 1 or 2 kms. from Centennial School.
A "White Room" is a room for special light therapy which provides students with enriched sensory experiences. The school also has a gym, a pool, an "apartment-workshop" allowing students to develop basic domestic skills, and other workshops where workplace-oriented skills can be developed.
The inauguration of the "white room" was held Nov. 25, 2010.
*** Special Needs CEGEP for South Shore? ***
It has also been reported that a french-language special needs "over-21 centre" ( a CEGEP alternative) is in the works. Perhaps there will be further news or an official announcement regarding that in the near future.
The Fondation Bel Essor has set this up as a fundraising objective for 2010.
