Company Overview

CERFO is the Centre d'enseignement (Teaching and Forestry Research Centre of Sainte-Foy Inc.). Early in the 1980s, the Government of Qubec sponsored the creation of 'specialized centres' of learning within some Qubec colleges. The function of the specialized centres was to complement existing research centres in applied research. The technological transfer available to businesses strengthen the ties between the colleges and their diverse clients. One result is a better formation of students enrolled in the technical programs of the regular sectors.

The Teaching and Forestry Research Centre of Sainte-Foy Inc. was founded in 1984 by members of the Department of Forestry Technology as well as representatives in the field of forestry. In 1993, the specialized centres became 'Technological Transfer Centres'. CERFO is incorporated as a non-profit organization. It works in concert with other Qubec colleges teaching forestry. The Board of Directors of CERFO comprises representatives of the forest industry and members of the teaching profession. In addition, the Board has the support of an advisory body of fourteen members.

The fundamental mandate of CERFO is to promote and support the technological development of the forest industry. The Centre fulfills its mission in the following four sectors of activities:
