Plans for Orange Shirt Day leading up to Sept. 30
June 1st, 2022
This fall, Dawson will host several events leading up to, and in observance of Sept. 30, Orange T-Shirt Day-National Day of Truth and Reconciliation.
A dedicated team of students, faculty, professionals, and support staff, in consultation with Indigenous advisors, will organize these events with the goal of providing learning opportunities and raising awareness about decolonization and the importance of this day.
Support (resources, ideas, suggestions for speakers) is available for faculty who would like to include the theme of residential schools, the Truth and Reconciliation Report, or other decolonization topics in their course.
To request support, or to contribute your ideas or your time to the organization of events, please contact Diana Rice drice@dawsoncollege.qc.ca.

One new bird species spotted at Dawson during May birdwatching mornings
June 1st, 2022
In total, 14 people showed up for two early-morning birdwatching events at Dawson last month.
“Although it was unusually cold and migration delayed because of the cold spring, we managed to identify 15 species and add one new species to the Dawson Bird List: a house finch, bringing the total species seen to 55 on campus. A red-tailed hawk and pileated woodpecker were among the highlights,” reported organizer Chris Adam of the Sustainability Office.
A nesting robin is also present in one of the trees, Chris noted. The photo of a chipping sparrow was captured another year by Doug Smyth of Physical Education. The chipping sparrow has nested successfully in the Peace Garden area for three years now.
Swap Your Stuff: new Dawson community Yammer channel
June 1st, 2022
As moving season approaches for many, it’s a good time to let you know that there is a new Yammer group for the Dawson community called Swap Your Stuff- Dawson College. College Nurse Julie Gosselin created it as her final project for her Sustainable Happiness course this year.
“It's basically an online platform to help people find, donate or swap their gently used stuff. Everything has to be free and it is meant to encourage solidarity and reuse amongst Dawson College community members, both staff and students,” Julie explained.
