Employees and students are encouraged to relax and connect with Nature on our lovely heritage grounds, which include the Peace Garden, courtyards, gazebos, and plenty of open space.

Explore your commuting options
August 18th, 2021
Coming back to Dawson has many employees reconsidering their transport choices. Facilities Management and the Sustainability Office are teaming up to help you explore your possibilities!
The STM has worked very hard on ensuring that their vehicles are sanitized and public health rules respected.
Why not consider a “transport cocktail,” combining modes of transport to reach your destination? For example, drive to the train, train in from the West Island, a BIXI bike ride from Vendome to Dawson.
Did the shutdown gave you a new one exercise habit? Active transport could be your way of saving time and maintaining your form. Bicycling (all or part of the way) might be more feasible than you think. Check out Biking at Dawson for ideas and promotions.
To encourage you to try bicycling, on top of a discount for BIXI memberships, Dawson has a limited supply of free one-month trial BIXI memberships available for those coming back to work.
Get in touch with Richard Dugas of Facilities Management to get a code or for more tips on getting to Dawson in COVID times by other means than a car! We will be holding a contest to promote biking to Dawson, stay tuned!
