Since I started working at Dawson many years ago, I have always believed that it is not only an important educational institution but contributes much to the wider Montreal community. Another perfect example of that is happening at the McCord Stewart Museum right now.
Curated by Nadia Bunyan, Aunties’ Work: The Power of Care is a vital and stimulating exhibit that will provide much food for thought to all those who see it.

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."
