Jayson Colin Scholarship

WE MOURN THE EARLY DEPARTURE OF AN EMMANUEL GRADUATE: JAYSON COLIN (1996-2022)

On Wednesday, August 10, 2022, just before 10:30 p.m., a shooting broke out in the courtyard of a Montreal North high school. According to the police, "Jayson Colin was hit by several projectiles, notably in the chest. The young man, who is not known to the police, was rushed to hospital where he died during the night.

The entire Emmanuel Christian School community is deeply shocked and truly devastated by this tragedy. We mourn the sudden and early departure of one of our graduates, Mr. Jayson Colin (Class of 2014).

In September 2010, Jayson Colin entered our school in Grade 8. At that time, the school had two sectors: English and French. Being in the French sector, the young boy’s integration was progressive. Recalling the young teenager's profile, Lucie Marineau, his former science teacher, described him as "a big guy, but so sweet". Math teacher Ryan Johnson remembers a young boy who was passionate about hockey, especially his favourite team: the Pittsburgh Penguins. In his 3rd year of high school, Jayson had the opportunity to participate in the school's mission trip. In the 2014 yearbook, he expressed his satisfaction at having participated in this trip: "I remember when we went to Panama with the English sector it was kinda awkward. After 2 weeks I created a relationship with the English sector and it was amazing! All the chilling and dances that we did in the hallway. The English sector is my second family after my hockey team. LOVE YOU!" Throughout his time at Emmanuel, Jayson's teachers and classmates enjoyed being around this charming young man with exceptional charisma.

Jayson's mother, Ronide Casséus, chose Emmanuel because of its values; values that she had instilled in her son. She felt that this type of school would help to make her son a socially conscious young man. According to her perception of the situation at the time, a Christian education in an Anglo-Saxon environment would be one of the cornerstones of the educational background of the young man of Haitian origin. Although very involved in the community with youth in Montreal North, Casséus wanted to limit the possibility of Jayson becoming delinquent. During his time at school, I had the privilege of teaching Jayson geography, history and Bible study. We would talk for hours about how he could avoid joining the cohort of youth who see crime as the only choice for social survival in Montreal. We would talk about an industrial quantity of subjects. When he left, he thanked me for treating him like a son. That's the nicest compliment a teacher can get from a student.

In June 2014, at Westview Bible Church, Jayson's mother had the satisfaction of seeing her son receive his high school diploma from the school's former principal, Mr. George Van Kampen.

When Jayson's death was announced, the mayors of Montreal North (Christine Black) and Montreal (Valérie Plante) took the time to eulogize the young man whose dynamism was recognized and appreciated by all, especially the community partners of the neighbourhood. If it weren't for this tragedy, Jayson would be busy setting up a field hockey league for underprivileged children. He was following in his mother's footsteps, but the systemic violence in Montreal became his enemy. Unfortunately, he will no longer be able to improve the lot of others by being an engaged citizen in the city.

In order to keep Jayson's memory alive, the Board of Directors, with the consent of the school administration, has decided to create a scholarship that will henceforth bear the name of Jayson Colin.

On behalf of the entire Emmanuel community, including the Board of Directors, school administrators, teachers, parents and former classmates of Jayson, we extend our deepest condolences to the Colin and Casséus family. Before long, we will all be gathered to say a heartfelt goodbye to one of our most beloved sons.

With sadness and deep Christian hope in eternal life,

Jean-Obed Jubuisson jr.

Directeur général/Head of School
