Gabrielle Bélanger: When Passion for Fashion Meets Hope
As part of our Open House, Gabrielle was given a private guided tour of the campus and of the Techno-Espace, and had the opportunity to attend a full course in Fashion Design.
This week, as part of our Open House event, Gabby was given a private guided tour of the campus and of our Techno-Espace, a special room full of specialized sewing machines. She met with one of our students, Olivier Poulin, who was working on a school project. He generously took the time to speak about his project and even made a demonstration on how to use one of the machines. Gabby also became a student for a day and joined a real class in Fashion Design: Study and Utilization of Raw Materials, with our teacher Jennifer Millen.

"I wanted to thank you for being welcoming yesterday at the College. Gabby and her brother loved the day they spent there. Moments like these allow her to forget about the disease and make plans. It's very motivating for her and it gives her the energy and strength to keep fighting." - Julie Beaudoin, Gabby's teacher at the Montreal Children's Hospital.
