Earth Weeks 2023 at Dawson
April 19th, 2023
A full program of activities is happening at Dawson from April 17-28 for students and employees to celebrate Earth Week, connect with Nature and learn about ways to live more sustainably.
On Tuesday, April 18, Jonathan Egan’s Introduction to Outdoor Education Class participated in a Bioblitz in the Peace Garden with Biology teacher Brian Mader, who is leading the 1,000 Species in 1,000 Days initiative. For a few hours, the students observed life in the Peace Garden and added to Dawson’s count. One way, they observed many kinds of life was by lifting up a slab of old tree trunk in the eco circle of the Peace Garden (pictured).
All students and employees are invited to help identify 1,000 plants, animals and other kinds of life on our city block in downtown Montreal. To date, a total of 455 species have been identified. From April 10-17, the Dawson College-Campus Biodiversity Network on the free app iNaturalist had 58 new observations, 12 new species added, and four new observers.
Rocking out at Dawson VIB event March 29
April 5th, 2023
A lively event stopped by Dawson on March 29 to move and inspire students and staff. The VIB event is touring campuses across Quebec to promote well-being and health. The event featured a Pound also known as “rocking out” workout, pictured; photo courtesy of RSEQ.
One of College Nurse Julie Gosselin’s student health ambassadors reported: “The participants really enjoyed the event and they liked their free merch. People seemed to really enjoy the Pound session as well since most of them had never done it before
“I think the event was really cool! It was a great way to promote physical activity during a time period when students are stressed and tend to forget the little things we should do to stay healthy.”
Contes et causerie à Dawson pour la Francofête
April 5th, 2023
Le conteur et nomade contemporain François Lavallée a fait escale à Dawson le 30 mars pour un événement dans le cadre de la semaine de la Francofête.
«Je pratique un des plus vieux métiers dans le monde, dit François au début de la soirée. Les histoires nous aident à collaborer pour le meilleur et pour le pire. Dans l'ancien temps, le troubadour était le premier à franchir la ligne de l’ennemie.»
«Quand on entend une bonne histoire, on s’accroche. Souvent, on raconte les souvenirs. Quand on raconte nos souvenirs, c’est différent de notre vécu.»
François a partagé un souvenir d'enfance datant de 1986. Après 37 ans, il dit que c'est sa mémoire et son imagination qui lui permettent de faire revivre l'histoire. Il a terminé sa visite avec «Le ruisseau», un extrait de son dernier spectacle

“My work explores a connecting thread between Mi’gmaw and Eurocentric worldviews, using a visual language that is both symbolic and literal. It is enriched by the history of the bead to carry knowledge, communicate, evoke, and express Spirit. I embrace the bead as infinite potentiality, appearing divided, as part, and at once whole and all-encompassing.”…
