Solving Montreal’s bike storage problem earns Dawson student recognition
May 14th, 2026
In a city where apartment space is tight and bicycles often end up on balconies or in hallways, Dawson Interior Design student Maryssa Baril set out to design a better solution.
Her project, VeloVibe, earned an honourable mention in the 2026 FORM Student Innovation Competition, standing out among more than 300 entries from across Canada, the U.S. and Mexico. Created for this year’s theme, “Mood-Boosting Design,” the piece combines functionality, ergonomics and bold material choices to transform bike storage into an integrated, visually engaging part of urban living.
You can see Maryssa's design at the Interior Design Vernissage and Exhibition May 28-29.

Reconnecting with Nature and transforming the campus, all in a weekend
May 14th, 2026
Two classes of Dawson College students spent an intense weekend on campus May 2–3, getting dirty, sweaty, and wet as they lifted and moved tonnes of soil and took on a variety of physically demanding tasks. In just two days, they transformed several areas of the campus - and themselves. The students were part of two Eco-Landscaping Physical Education course sections taught by Angela Corinthios and Paul Wasacz.
The objective of the course “is to demonstrate that physical activity can take many forms and that many dimensions of wellness can be developed by participating in various activities, like gardening,” Paul said.
“We were one big working unit,” said Angela, who taught this course for the first time this semester. “We were figuring things out and learning together.” The two classes worked on distinct but related Living Campus projects with support from the Office of Sustainability.
