QHS Teacher helps Laval University Men’s Basketball Team capture the national U-Sports title
When QHS teacher, Marc Collier walks down the hall he normally turns a few heads. Not just sideways, but upwards as well! At six foot nine inches tall it is impossible not to see him coming in your direction. In 1942, when they opened the present location of QHS, the architects did not plan on needing door frames that high to accommodate a staff member that tall. Born and raised in Winnipeg, Manitoba, he attended
River East Collegiate. He was a student athlete at a large school, with a big sports program. Flash forward a few years and Marc completed his B.A. / B.SC. and B. Education degrees at the University of Manitoba. He then went on to University of Victoria to finish his Masters degree in Coaching Studies. Marc is in his 9th year of teaching, and he has taught Kindergarten through to Grade 12. This is his 2nd year at QHS. Marc and his fiancee were living in Winnipeg, where she worked as a nurse for Indigenous Affairs Canada. After 5 years of living in Winnipeg, they figured it was time to make a change and move closer to her family. They
arrived in the summer of 2022 and after searching for a place to buy, they decided that they would build. There was another reason for Marc to come to Quebec City- a potential coaching job with Laval University. He felt it was time to get back into U-SPORTS after his experiences in Winnipeg.
