Between the late 1990s and early 2000s high schools in Ontario, including Garneau, were affected by the Ontario Conservative Gouvernment's plans to reform secondary schools. A 1997 announcement by the government included plans to reduce Ontario's five-year high school program with a four-year program. In 2003 this created a phenomenon dubbed the double cohort, whereas students from the old program, the five-year Ontario Academic CreditOntario Academic Credit
