Vanier's Environmental and Wildlife Management Program

Advantages

Vanier College offers an Environmental and Wildlife Management program with a permanent field station for environmental and ecological studies. Courses for the first two years are given on campus. Most of the third year of training for resource management and environmental and pollution studies is given at the field station near Lachute QC. Along with student residences, the field station facilities include a laboratory, a computer room with Internet access, a small-scale fish culture facility, and access to a variety of natural terrestrial and aquatic habitats, agricultural lands and urban terrain. As well students follow a fieldwork placement at a laboratory or environmental site typical of post-graduate work placements.
