Dawson College is taking new steps this semester to raise awareness about period poverty and encourage more sustainable menstrual health options.
As part of this effort, five bathrooms across campus now offer free menstrual products as do some student offices, such as the First-Year Students’ Office. This initiative aims to remove barriers faced by students who may not always have access to these essential items, a challenge that can lead to preventable absenteeism and even lost employment opportunities.
Period poverty is rising in Canada and it is having a real impact on thousands of people who struggle to afford menstrual products each month. By making these supplies freely available, Dawson hopes to help reduce stigma, promote equity, and support student well-being.
In April, the campaign’s second phase will focus on sustainable menstrual products. Students will learn about the environmental and health drawbacks of disposable items and discover reusable alternatives such as menstrual cups and period underwear.
The project is being managed by the Office of Sustainability thanks to a donation to the Dawson College Foundation.
Every 80 seconds in Quebec, someone needs blood. You can donate blood at Dawson on Feb. 17-18-19 from 9 AM to 4 PM in 3C.1.
Light refreshments provided.

A message from organizer Janice Harvey (Dawson Scholar in Residence, History):
"Batshaw's Holiday Gift Drive collected presents for more than 2,000 children and teens this year. I wanted to thank the Dawson community for their generous and continued support of this effort to ensure children in care have something to make their holiday a little bit more enjoyable.
This year Dawson covered more than 74 children, among them a number of newborns and infants, youngsters needing winter clothes and others requesting toys instead, a number of teens, and, importantly, ten 17-year-olds who will leave the Youth Protection system at some point this year."
Save the Date and join us for Artists in Bloom! This year will be the 28th annual edition of the beloved Dawson community fundraising event. We are excited to welcome you to the event and to see what our talented student artists from the Illustration and Visual Arts programs will produce.
