20 years later, Dawson remembers
August 27th, 2026
The Dawson College community, along with alumni, retirees, friends and supporters, are invited to gather on Friday, Sept. 11 for a 20-year commemoration of the Dawson tragedy.
On Sept. 13, 2006, student Anastasia De Sousa was killed, 19 others were wounded, and countless students, employees, families and community members were profoundly affected by the events that unfolded at the College.
In the years that followed, the Dawson community committed itself to teaching peace and promoting well-being for all. One of our first collective acts was to support a grassroots initiative that raised funds to create the Peace Garden, a lasting space for reflection, remembrance and hope.
You are invited to gather in the Peace Garden (outside on campus toward the corner of Wood Avenue and Sherbrooke Street West) at 12:30 PM on Friday, Sept. 11. To access the Peace Garden, walk west (turn left if exiting the front door at 3040 Sherbrooke Street West or right if facing the front door with your back to Sherbrooke Street)

Black History Month ended with colourful celebration
March 26th, 2026
Black History Month at Dawson this winter was over several weeks and included multiple events. It concluded in style on March 12 with the second Caribbean Festival.
Black History Month Committee member Simeon Pompey reported that “the event offered a vibrant mix of culture, music, and cuisine for students and staff across the college community…
“The program featured performances by Fatima Wilson, the Grenada Ensemble Folk Performers, and a colourful costume presentation by Rayne Carnival. Guests were treated to samples of Caribbean favourites, including Jamaican patties and plantain chips. Thanks to the generosity of Ketlyn Maitland-Blades, many students were treated to ginger beer (“ginger juice”), and Caribbean-style bread pudding. Education can be delivered in many different forms.”
Simeon thanked the organizers: the Campus Life team at Dawson College and the Caribbean Coalition Network of Montreal.
