| This
shot was taken in the field that was to become the site
of the future N Building. The students are doing a visual
exercise where a student keeps his eyes closed while being
led by another, until he is told to open his eyes and look at an
object in front of him. |
Current teacher Karen Tennenhouse is seen at right in this photo
from the early 1980s.
These Women's Studies
students were photographed during a class discussion.

| When
the New Building was inaugurated by Claude Ryan, the Minister
of Education, on February the 13th 1987, students, teachers
and staff who were opposed to the project demonstrated.
A riot squad was called in, much to the surprise and disgust
of the peaceful demonstrators. The Academic Dean at the
time, Alex Potter is addressing those assembled. As the
riot squad left, the unhappy and disgruntled demonstrators
dispersed. |
Students and teachers taking part in strikes during the winter and spring of 1983.
In the above photo (and the one below) the person on the right
holding the large “Vanier Nous Souviendrons” sign
and leading the student marchers is current English teacher
Henry Tambor.
In the last photo we see Sylvia d'Appallonia at far left and
Bjorn Urhammer and Louis Belle-Isle at right.
