Le Collège militaire royal de Saint-Jean (CMR) is a Canadian military academy located in Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu, Québec.

In fall 2007, the federal government will reopen the military college at Saint-Jean, which was closed in 1995. The reopening of CMR, uses a similar formula to the one used in 1952 when CMR was originally created. The Commandant of CMR (a Colonel) will report to the Commander, Canadian Defence Academy (CDA). CMR will also have its own Board of Governors. Cadets at CMR will be issued scarlet uniforms. The first-year program at CMR is expected to free up beds at Royal Military College of Canada (RMC) allowing more Regular Officer Training Program (ROTP) cadets to attend RMC rather than civilian universities. ^[1]

CMR infrastructure is currently used by the Canadian Forces located at ASU Saint-Jean and by a non-profit corporation called Campus du Fort Saint-Jean, which arranges for the upkeep of many of the former educational facilities and leases them out to educational institutions such as the Université du Québec à Montréal (UQÀM) for their local programmes while also renting out others for short events such as large banquets or conventions.

[edit] Program

Corresponding to the first two years of collegial (CEGEP) studies in Quebec, Preparatory Year is a pre-university programme of studies. Intended for students who have obtained their high-school certificates in Quebec or the equivalent elsewhere in Canada, the program prepares students to continue their studies at the Royal Military College of Canada in Kingston, Ontario.

Students at CMR will be able to receive training in a two-year general military College of General and Professional Education (CEGEP) diploma program to about 200 students per year:

130-140 cadets in the Preparatory year
60-70 in second year at CMR

The CMR is attracting Quebecers who have already completed a year at some other CEGEP to switch into the first year at CMR. CMR offers courses in French to the French-speaking cadets and in English to the English-speaking cadets. ^[2]

Although the College won't offer university-level courses as it did before it closed in 1995, credits can be applied to programs at the Royal Military College of Canada in Kingston, Ontario or other universities. So that students can move seamlessly from one to the other, the academic programs at the two institutions will be harmonized. At the end of the first or Preparatory Year, students who opt for the “General” program (science, arts, business) will stay on at CMR for another year. Students studying engineering will go to Kingston into first year at RMC. ^[3]

At its campus in Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu the Royal Military College of Canada (RMC) has been offering a preuniversity programme for 140 students per year. The preparatory year ("Prep year") cadets acquire the necessary academic standard needed to attend RMC. The preparatory year is open to students from Canada who need to upgrade their studies before beginning university courses. The program is intended mainly for students from Quebec. The academic function of CMR was to educate its cadets up to the second year of a college degree. The remaining studies are to be completed at the RMC in Kingston.

Divided into two semesters the academic year is composed of 75 teaching days and a final examination period, followed by a supplemental examination period.

The preparatory year students register in either the social sciences or science program. The programs are offered in both official languages. The social sciences program features courses in sociology, history, political science, mathematics, computer science, chemistry and physics. The sciences program includes courses in: mathematics, physics, chemistry, computer science, and history. The core courses in both programs include: literature, philosophy, second language, and physical education.

The mandate of the preparatory year is to develop in its students good work habits, academic diligence, critical facility, and team spirit. ^[4]

[edit] Student Life

In fall 2008, officer cadets will return to wearing a distinctive Dress of the Day (DOD) uniform which consists of a white shirt, black sweater/light jacket, as well as black trousers/skirt with a red stripe down the side. The headdress will be a black wedge with red piping. ^[5]

[edit] Centres

[edit] Canadian Forces Management Development School (CFMDS)

Founded in 1966, the mission of the CFMDS is to apply management and leadership training and consultation to the defence team. The CFMDS is housed at the Collège militaire royal de Saint-Jean. ^[6]

[edit] Non-Commissioned Members Professional Development Center (NCMPDC)

The NCMPDC was created on 1 April 2003 and is located at Campus St-Jean. The courses that are offered at the Center are the Intermediate Leadership Qualification (ILQ), the Advanced Leadership Qualification (ALQ) and finally the CPO1/CWO Chief Qualification (CQ). All courses include both distance learning and a residential portion. The distance learning portion lasts 9 or 10 weeks depending on the course and allows the candidates to remain with their respective units. These courses also prepare the candidates for the residential portion which last 3 weeks and takes place on the CMR St-Jean site. ^[7]

The NCMPDC courses were created as a result of the NCM Corps 2020. [2]

More than a thousand members of the Canadian Forces transit through the NCMPDC each year in order to perfect their knowledge and skills following or before their promotion to the ranks of Warrant officer (Petty officer 1st class-PO1), Master Warrant Officer (Chief petty officer second class-CPO2) or Chief Warrant Officer (Chief petty officer first class-CPO1).

[edit] Routine

When they arrive at L'Escadron Richelieu, the officer-cadets have already chosen their service. The cadets wear the uniform of their service during the preparation year. They will not wear the Royal Military College of Canada uniform until they get to first year in Kingston, Ontario.

The preuniversity programme features modern, diversified teaching methods: workshops, introduction to research methods, laboratories, group projects, oral and multimedia presentations. The staff provide academic support in the form of workshops, tutorials, and supplementary courses.

The cadets live in Cartier block and eat in pavillon Dextrase (completed in 1993). The cadets can leave the campus at any time that they do not have classes, study periods or training.

During the week the daily routine consists of inspection, running, breakfast, classes, sports, and studies. The officer-cadets attend academic classes and undergo military training. The military training is in the form of drill, cartography, compass use and 3 major field exercises each year. The cadets take roles as cadet squadron commander, Second in Command (2IC) and section commanders. Ouside classes, bilingualism is promoted by French / English weeks.

On the weekend, with the exception of military training, the students are largely free.

[edit] History

Year	Significance
1948	In the Post-War re-organisation of the Canadian Forces, the Canadian Military Colleges Circle (CMC) was formed with RMC, Royal Roads Military College (RRMC) and Le Collège militaire royal de Saint-Jean(CMR)
1950	The Old Brigade, alumni celebrating 50 + years since they entered one of the military colleges, are inducted.
1952	CMR was established in order to conduct tri-service cadet training within the Canadian Forces. It was a classical college, with the initial purpose of providing a more equitable representation of French Canadians in the three services of the Canadian Forces. During spring 1952, the Right Honorable Louis Saint-Laurent, Prime Minister of Canada, made the decision to found a bilingual military college in Québec, to open in September. In 1952 the Governor General of Canada officially opened Collège militaire royal de Saint-Jean (CMR).
1968	Pavillon Lahaie was built, featuring laboratory, library and office space
1971	CMR established a formal partnership with the University of Sherbrooke, after which CMR cadets were able to obtain a bachelor's degree without leaving Saint-Jean.
1973	The CMR March (music), "La marche du Richelieu" composed by Madame Denise Chabot (wife of head of French department LCol C.A. Chabot) in 1954 became the official college march. "La Gaillarde" is the slow march
1985	The Quebec government passed an act granting CMR its own university charter.
1988	CMR was authorized to grant master's and doctorate degrees.
1995	following the end of the Cold War and massive government cutbacks on defence spending, the Department of National Defence closed Royal Roads Military College (RRMC) and Collège militaire royal de Saint-Jean (CMR). CMR now operates as part of ASU Saint-Jean as Campus St-Jean where preparatory year ("Prep year") cadets acquire the necessary academic standard needed to attend RMC. RRMC is no longer a military institution, and is now maintained by the Government of British Columbia as Royal Roads University. The loss of CMR and RRMC along with their many traditions and history as military colleges still remains a bitter event for many cadets and alumni. ^[8]
2007	The reopening of CMR was discussed during the Debates of the Senate (Hansard) 1st Session, 39th Parliament, Volume 143, Issue 93 on Thursday, May 3, 2007. The reopening of CMR was announced in July 2007 for the fall term 2007

[edit] Quotes

#	Name	Quote
H7860	Hon. Roméo Dallaire (CMR/RMC 1969), Canadian Senator	"The decision to close the Collège militaire royal de Saint-Jean was particularly ill-advised. I applaud Minister O'Connor's decision to reopen it, and I do wonder why you fired him. I hope that reopening the college is not another of the disingenuous things that seem to be coming out of that department."^[9]
H7860	Hon. Roméo Dallaire (CMR/RMC 1969), Canadian Senator	"The possibility of starting a new program at the college — a military Cegep that would allow all officer cadets to spend two years in Saint-Jean before going to Kingston, instead of studying only in Kingston — is being considered. In the spirit of progress, would it be possible to support a principle as basic as the freedom of francophones in the Canadian Armed Forces by establishing a Cegep-style francophone bilingual military college."
12046	Pierre Ducharme, President of RMC Club	"Le Collège Militaire Royal de Saint-Jean served our country very well in the past and the Club wishes CMR a long and distinguish life."
	Hon. Graham Fraser, Commissioner of Official Languages	"The creation of the College militaire royal in 1952 was very important for the Canadian military, and Canadian society. For 43 years, this institution provided an excellent training and learning environment for Francophone recruits, as well as an exceptional immersion environment for Anglophones who wished to improve their skills in French. Its closing in 1995 caused long-term problems for the Canadian Forces. I am pleased to see that the first step has been taken in the re-establishment of this important institution, which has contributed a great deal to the history of Canadian linguistic duality." "It is important that the men and women who choose to serve their country in the Canadian Forces and accept the inherent risks are able to do so in an environment that respects their preferred official language. It is important that Canadian military leadership be taught - and learned - in both official languages." "The Saint-Jean Royal Military College was established because National Defence wanted to increase its recruitment of Francophone officers. It opened its doors in 1952 and, over the years, it grew from a college to a full university. As it was located in a French-speaking province, it offered the added benefits of enabling Anglophone officers to participate in the best immersion program in North America." ^[10]
	Michael Fortier, MP for Montreal.	"Reopening of CMR..."is excellent news for the military, for the City of St-Jean, and of course for francophones not only in Quebec but outside Quebec" The 1995 closure of CMR was "as though the NHL had removed the Montreal Canadiens franchise." "Our youngsters in Quebec who want to study in a military college want to study in a francophone environment college close to them, and francophones outside Quebec interested in the armed forces want to study here in Quebec"
S157	BGen (Ret) Gordon O'Connor, Minister of National Defence	"I am here to correct a grave error committed by the previous government"... "We want to give it CMR back its history and glory. The reopening is important because our army is expanding. This is a jewel of our military history." "It is with great pride that I am announcing the re-establishment of the College militaire royal de Saint-Jean" "This vital educational institution will once again take its pride of place in the development of a bilingual officer corps. For too long we have felt its absence. CMR is back." "It has to do with giving francophones their place within the military"
	Hon. Marcel Prud'homme, Canadian Senator requesting reopening CMR	"Honourable senators, the closing of Collège militaire royale de Saint-Jean is one error of the past that I find unforgivable. Given the very important role the new administration wants to give to the armed forces, could the government now consider reopening Collège militaire royal de Saint-Jean as soon as possible?"
G1415	Major General Walter Semianiw OMM CD (RMC 1980) Chief Military Personnel	the reopening of "Saint-Jean as an independent academic institution will provide a vital educational capability to the Canadian Forces." "This will restore a Commandant, Board of Governors, and a Principal, as well as the military culture of discipline, uniforms and fitness training in order to meet the needs of an expanding and transforming Canadian Forces."
