For those of us who know Simeon Pompey, a faculty member of CRLT, it should not come as a surprise that we are not the only ones who recognize and treasure him. Liberal Member of Parliament for NDG-Westmount Marc Garneau recognized Pompey as a "distinguished teacher, community leader, and father."
This statement commended Simeon for his years of dedication to the community in NDG.
Héma-Québec held a two-day blood drive at Dawson on Sept. 13-14 and a total of 121 students and employees donated blood. Of these, 31 were first-timers! Many first-timers said it was easy and that they would do it again.
M. Lauzon of Héma-Québec said that they exceeded their goal of 120 donors and that it was an “excellent” result, especially considering that they have been experiencing up to 30 per cent of no-show’s for appointments elsewhere.
Thanks to the Dawson community donors for saving lives and embodying our value of well-being of all!
