2015 Recognition Gala at Cégep Garneau

On Monday, April 27, the Cégep Garneau Foundation and the Department of Visual Orthosis Techniques hosted the 2015 Recognition Gala. “This is the second year that the Foundation and the Department have offered a unique awards ceremony,” explains Darquise Tardif, professor and scholarship partner with colleague Véronique Guay. Six thousand dollars in scholarships were awarded to recipients who distinguished themselves by their perseverance, academic excellence and good management skills.

Other partners also contributed financially to recognize the career paths of these future opticians: Guylaine Michaud, optician, Essilor, Lasik MD, Gestion Opto-Réseau, New Look Eyewear and the Order of Dispensing Opticians of Quebec.
