Cégep Marie‑Victorin opens Quebec’s first four‑season outdoor classroom

Cégep Marie‑Victorin opened in fall 2026 a four‑season outdoor classroom — a covered, unheated learning space in a campus garden designed primarily to prepare students in early childhood education and special education for field realities.
Installed in a garden on campus, the four‑season classroom at Cégep Marie‑Victorin is covered but not heated, allowing use in summer and winter. It provides hands‑on training for students enrolled in the early childhood education and special education technician programs, helping them rehearse practices they will encounter in community settings. Other programs may book the space when available. A Radio‑Canada reporter visited the new facility and indicated plans to observe how it functions during the cold months.
