History

LaSalle College was founded in 1959 by Jean-Paul Morin, often referred to as «the father of fashion in Quebec».[19][20] His goal was to give the Quebec population at the time new career opportunities by receiving education directly from experts. For this Canadian entrepreneur, quality education meant offering programs that met industry demands. The very first program offered was a secretarial course. The highest form of success was when his graduates were able to directly apply their acquired skill set in the workplace.
