The Dawson community is invited to wear purple on Tuesday, Nov. 25. This gesture is a way to show support for ending gender-based violence. The colour purple stands for courage, dignity, and solidarity with survivors. By wearing it, you help raise awareness and spark conversations about creating safer communities for everyone.
Nov. 25 is International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women. This day marks the start of the 16 Days of Activism Against Gender-based Violence campaign, which raises awareness and promotes actions to end violence against women and girls worldwide.
Dawson College’s recently renovated room 2H.02 has been thoughtfully redesigned to better serve students with disabilities, with essential upgrades addressing a range of needs beyond mobility.
“Our vision was to create a purposeful space that genuinely meets students’ real needs. With the help of Inhwa Choi and Elias Azar of the Facilities Management team, that vision surpassed our expectations,” said Christine Lister, manager of Dawson’s Student AccessAbility Centre (SAAC).
Inhwa emphasized the design intent: “We wanted students to feel that this room is truly their space—a welcoming, intentional environment, not a storage area or an undefined corner, but a place where every student can relax, focus, and find comfort whenever they need a quiet moment.” Inhwa said the team felt that the College’s standard paint and flooring colours could use a fresh approach in this space. The team chose a soothing green paint palette “to foster warmth and relaxation.”
