“It is with regret and sadness that we announce the death of Mr. Charles Goode, English teacher and rugby coach at the Séminaire who had 20 years of presence, dedication and commitment to the Séminaire. He was also an active member of the board of directors of the Fondation du Séminaire. The latter succumbed to a heart attack during his vacation in Nova Scotia,” indicated Rector and Director General Jacques Gravel, in an email addressed to the parents of students attending the Séminaire.
