"Video Of Legends"
The school is also home to the infamous "Crew": Adam, Ashten, Yannick, Phil, Matt and Nick. Who are currently making a "Video Of Legends" DVD based on the "best of the best" moments during their high school times. The video has been branded to be the funniest home made video by high school students of all time, and will be on sale to selected v.i.p's in May of 2007.
"The Berton"
Thomas M. Berton, a local legend, has been attending Collège since late 2001 and is now in his final year. He has become famous for his puffy red hair, lanky figure and overall sexiness. These three things can be described with the word "Bertonesque". He is also the grandson of Canadian writer and critic Pierre Berton and violinist Eugene Kash. He is the nephew of actress Linda Kash, best known as Canada's beloved Kraft Philadelphia Cream Cheese Angel.
"The legend of Icha"
Icha Allen Mundundu, another local legend, is a former student at le Collège Français and is now at Central Tech. Icha is know for his "special" voice and his particular conduct. Icha's name has become a symbol to everyone, even those who have never met him. His name is thus written throughout the school property (multiple times). Icha is an aspiring mechanic, and a pretty bad basket-ball player. His legend will perpetuate through time... long live the legend!
