Join the DAC to have fun at work and meet colleagues
August 28th, 2024
DAC stands for the Dawson Activity Club and it is a great way to meet people at Dawson College. DAC members lunch together or enjoy activities once a month while socializing with colleagues. Last week, we kicked off the Fall 2024 semester with the traditional Welcome Back Breakfast. It is never too late to join!
Upcoming events for the Fall Semester include a Pizza Lunch, a 5@7, a vegetarian lunch to celebrate October’s International Vegetarian Day, and a Trivia Night involving friendly competition and prizes. Potential events/activities for the Winter 2025 semester include a bowling evening, art class, beginners pickleball, beginners line dancing, and, of course, food.
If you have a suggestion of something we could do or have any other questions then don’t hesitate to send an email to dac@dawsoncollege.qc.ca
All employees are welcome to join DAC. It only costs $1 per pay. Where else could you get these types of free events or rabates for $2 per month? To fill out the form to join, see Gianna Smith in 2E.6 or email her at gsmith@dawsoncollege.qc.ca
Campus Recreation FREE for employees

Exciting news! To promote the well-being of employees, Dawson College has invested in Campus Recreation activities to make fitness classes and gym sports free for all employees!
Regular physical activity helps prevent health issues, improves mood, helps manage stress, boosts energy, promotes better sleep and provides opportunities to meet new people! More on benefits of activity here.
Campus Rec at Dawson has something to get everyone moving. Choose from circuit training, Pilates, yoga and Kung Fu classes and drop by the gym for the weight room, climbing, badminton, basketball and volleyball. More details on the offerings can be found here.
Although it’s free, it is necessary to register by going to Omnivox and clicking on “Campus Recreation” under the “Student Services” section. Note that all charges will disappear when you get to the checkout.
For gym access, present yourself to the PARC front desk at 1H.2 to sign up for the day.

Earth Weeks at Dawson 2024
April 24th, 2024
This year's Earth Weeks once again promoted well-being for our students and employees and brought back some favourite activities and events while introducing new ones.
On April 23, Kaye Francis led a cooking workshop, which was the crowd favourite.
"I wanted to inspire participants to bring out their inner chef," she said. Kaye, a trained French chef who likes to inject Caribbean influences into her cooking, presented couscous and suggested many different ways to use it or other grains as a base to create flavourful, healthy and satisfying meals. "People get stuck on recipes, I wanted to focus on methods," she said.
Couscous is a blank canvas and you can create different meals by adding vegetables, protein, and dressing/sauce. Here is Kaye's recipe for Italian or Greek couscous.
