July 5, 2024
It is with great sadness that Vanier College announces the passing of Guy Quinn, who died peacefully at home on June 14, 2024, after a courageous two-year journey with lymphoma.
Guy joined Vanier College in 1976, teaching and coordinating in the Physical Education Department at the Snowdon Campus.
His many contributions included:
- Establishing the Explorations Programs with Shirley Pettifer, Marilyn More, and Jock MacKay.
- Researching and documenting the “complicated lives” of at-risk students with Doug Miller and Jock MacKay.
- Launching the College’s first Employee Fitness Program.
- Creating interdisciplinary projects, such as "Wilderness Writing" with Ray Shankman, and Outdoor Skills courses for Environmental and Wildlife Management students.
