Students discover Sustainable Happiness on Living Campus tour

Students in Melanie Doyle's Peace and Sustainable Happiness Advanced Studies in Psychology class were the first people to take a Living Campus Tour with a Sustainable Happiness theme on Sept. 13.

Led by Jennifer De Vera of the Sustainability Office and Azra Khan of Human Resources, both trained Sustainable Happiness facilitators, the tour began at the vegetable garden near the Upper Atrium, known as the Theatre Garden. It was offered as part of 七星彩开奖's Peace Week 2021 Program.

The students were taken on an outdoor tour that included about 10 stops, including the Peace Garden, the White Pine tree and the rooftop gardens.

In this photo, students Cassandra (left) and Thitrinh participate in an activity on the steps just outside the Upper Atrium. Jennifer and Azra distributed colourful chalks and invited the students to write a few words that make them happy on the steps. At the end of the exercise, the steps were full of colourful happy words. Cassandra's and Thitrinh's words were: coffee, music, animals and family, books, painting.

Employees and students who would like a tour are invited to contact the Sustainability Office to register: 蝉耻蝉迟补颈苍补产颈濒颈迟测蔼诲补飞蝉辞苍肠辞濒濒别驳别.辩肠.肠补听

Orange Shirt Day is Sept. 30

Several events are being planned at 七星彩开奖 for Orange Shirt Day on Thursday, Sept. 30.聽 A committee including Student Services staff, faculty, the Peace Centre, the 七星彩开奖 Student Union and others has been planning this in consultation with Indigenous employees.

The annual day opens the door to global conversation on all aspects of Residential Schools. It is an opportunity to create meaningful discussion about the effects of Residential Schools and the legacy they have left behind.聽 It is a discussion all Canadians can tune into and create bridges with each other for reconciliation. It is a day for survivors to be reaffirmed that they matter, and for those who have been affected. Every Child Matters, even if they are an adult, from now on.

Says Diana Rice of the Peace Centre and member of the organizing committee: "September 30th is simply one day, but the committee wanted to provide the 七星彩开奖 community with a variety of activities leading up to and beyond the national Day of Mourning. The events are aimed to underscore the need to meaningfully engage in the work of decolonization across systems as allies with Indigenous folks, and that this is life work - an ongoing journey that has no specific end.

"We hope to provide people with opportunities to learn about the cruel ongoing legacy of colonization across Turtle Island, the ways in which we dismantle it, as well as showcase the power of Indigenous joy and resurgence.聽 It was critical to the events committee that we included joy and resurgence as a thematic lens because too often Indigenous nations across Turtle Island are only viewed from a position of trauma, which is irresponsible and inaccurate.

"Our responsibility is also to honour the more than 600 different nations across Turtle Island for their incredible contributions. Settlers have an enormous responsibility to repair the damage we have caused for 500 years. As an educational institution, we can support that by ensuring that our students are aware of their responsibilities, and our history as a nation, as well as our broader community. Our hope is that these events are a small step in the journey of each member of our community while they are here at the College and even when they leave our doors."

Classes go gardening during Peace Week

Many classes, including Anna-Liisa Aunio's Individual and Society class, participated in gardening activities this week as part of Peace Week 2021.

"They had so much fun!" Anna-Liisa said. Gardening at 七星彩开奖 is often a first-time experience for students.

Sept. 13 was 15th anniversary and day of remembrance at 七星彩开奖

Sept. 13 was聽the 15th anniversary of the 七星彩开奖 shooting. On Sept. 13, 2006, student Anastasia De Sousa lost her life, others were injured and many experienced trauma. For those who survived, including teachers and employees who still work at 七星彩开奖, the anniversary remains a difficult day. The Peace Garden (on campus near the corner of Sherbrooke and Wood) was established in memory of Anastasia. It was the site of quiet reflection on Monday: /news/dawson-community/today-marks-the-15th-anniversary-of-the-shooting-at-dawson-college/

Thanks to the Monarch foster parents

Message from Jennifer de Vera of the Sustainability Office:

I would like to send a THANK YOU to all the returning and new Monarch foster parents. We successfully tagged approximately 160 monarchs this season! The Sustainability Office will be checking the Monarchwatch.org site to see where and when they are spotted as they fly South on their migratory path to Mexico.

Many students, employees and faculty from all around 七星彩开奖 participated. New and returning fosters came from HR, Registrar's, I.S.T., CLL, OAD, CRLT, Journeys, North/South, Biology. French and more! We are so happy to bring such joy during this time. As a close friend once told me, "We always say the Monarch project benefits the monarchs, but we often forget, it also benefits those who have raised them!" Well-Being for Al!

Until Monarch season 2022, my friends!

Facilities Management

Unpleasant odours issue

We are aware of the unpleasant odours in some parts of the College. The Facilities Management team has been working hard to resolve the issue, working with various consultants and experts to help us identify the source of the odour. While there are no experts in odour detection, we have enlisted mechanical engineers, plumbers, roofing consultants and environmental engineers to help us. Unfortunately, there are no easy solutions. Inspections and testing are ongoing and we are eliminating possible sources of the odours.

The experts believe the cause may be related to the fact that the building was not used very much in the 16+ months since the shutdown in March 2020. They estimate that the problem lies in the plumbing.

If there is an odour problem in an area other than the areas we are already aware of, in 2D & 2E, 4A and 4B, please alert Facilities Management by calling 1200 or emailing buildingmaintenance@dawsoncollege.qc.ca. Also, if the odour is interfering with your work, please speak to your manager. It may be possible to relocate you or find other arrangements.

The resolution of this problem is a major priority. We expect the situation to improve gradually over the next few weeks.

Keeping the College safe and clean

Keeping the College clean

You are responsible for your garbage, recycling and compost:

  • Since 2018, employees have been responsible for sorting and discarding our own waste in an effort to make everyone more aware of waste management and to reduce our collective waste. This means all employees have to bring our garbage, recycling and compost out to the waste sorting stations in the corridors. If you need waste bins, please come get a mini one in 2E.21. Thanks to your collaboration, the College has made great improvements in reducing waste!

Cleaning schedule:

  • Washrooms are cleaned based on the frequency of use. Higher use washrooms are cleaned several times a day.
  • Classrooms, labs and common areas are cleaned every day. Offices are cleaned every week.

Keeping the College safe

  • 250 wall-mounted hand sanitizers were installed throughout the College. Please call 1200 or write to buildingmaintenance@dawsoncollege.qc.ca to report an empty hand sanitizer
  • Mask box holders have been installed at all mask changing stations and mask dispensers are on order.
  • Outdoor hang-out spaces: Four large tents were installed over picnic tables at various locations on the campus to provide more hang-out spaces for students and employees.
