Men wanted to staff White Ribbon table Dec. 1-4
November 19th, 2025
Seeking male colleagues and students to give an hour of service to staff the White Ribbon campaign table Monday through Thursday, Dec. 1-4, from 10 AM to 3 PM. For support staff, professionals and managers, you can you use your well-being hours with the approval of your supervisor.
The White Ribbon Campaign is a global movement of men and boys working to end male violence against women and girls. It was formed by a group of pro-feminist men in Toronto in 1991 as a response to the École Polytechnique massacre of female students in 1989.
The campaign’s mission is to raise awareness about the prevalence of male violence against women, with the ribbon symbolizing the idea of men giving up their arms. Active in over 60 countries, the movement seeks to promote healthy relationships, gender equity, and a compassionate vision of masculinity.
If you are interested in volunteering, please email your availabilities to Rhea Gurnagul at rgurnagul@dawsoncollege.qc.ca.
Get Ready to “Bee” Hands-On: Join Dawson’s Rooftop Honey Harvest on Nov. 13
November 6th, 2025
It’s that time of year again when you can get your hands dirty, or should we say your fingers sticky, and help extract honey from our bee frames located in the hives on the 4H rooftop. Our bees have been busy producing a lot of honey thanks to our many pollinating flower gardens on campus, which are all maintained by our very own Sustainabili-team student and employee volunteers.
The fun-filled hour will include uncapping honeycomb cells, hand-spinning honeycombs in the centrifugal extractor, and filtering the raw honey before jarring and labelling it. All participants will leave with a little sample jar of Dawson's honey. It will BEE fun and you can use your weekly well-being hour to participate.
Spaces are limited. RSVP IS A MUST, please fill out this MS form for the employee event on Nov. 13 from 11 AM to 12 PM. The Office of Sustainability will send you a confirmation email.

The Office of Sustainability is inviting the Dawson Community to come to the west side of the campus (closer to Wood Avenue) on Thursday, Oct. 30 any time between 10 AM-12 PM to participate in the Micro Forest Dig-In.
Come help plant native species, trees, edible bushes, and wildflower seeds! All gloves and tools will be provided. This is a great way for staff to use our weekly well-being hour.
The Office of Sustainability’s proposal to Colleges and Institutes Canada (CICan) to create a micro forest secured a Campus Climate Micro-Grant.
Diana Rice of the Office of Sustainability described the project in the proposal: "We will plant an adapted form of a micro forest based on a Haudenosaunee land conservation and rehabilitation practices (approximately 30 feet x 40 feet) on the Dawson grounds between the Peace Garden and Wood Avenue to decrease greenhouse gases in the atmosphere of our urban campus, continue to enhance our Living Campus learning space by creating another microhabitat to be used in program curricula for competency attainment, assessment, and evaluation; decolonize our land to design a uniquely Haudenosaunee version of a micro forest."
