Through this agreement, the École secondaire du Sacré-Cœur Griffons will benefit from the services of Collège Boréal students registered in the Massage Therapy Program. As part of sports clinics offered in the premises of École secondaire du Sacré-Cœur, students will receive an assessment of their overall health as well as personalized strategies to improve their well-being and athletic performance. In addition, they will benefit from continuous monitoring based on their specific needs.

"While allowing Sacré-Cœur athletes to excel and stay healthy, this partnership is linked to the school's Specialist High Skills Major in health and wellness, which prepares students to pursue their studies and training in the various health disciplines," stated Ms. Lyse-Anne Papineau, director of education at CSC Nouvelon. "This partnership will also enable many of our students to learn about this field of study and one day become Collège Boréal's massage therapist."
