New period poverty project at Dawson
February 12th, 2026
Dawson College is taking new steps this semester to raise awareness about period poverty and encourage more sustainable menstrual health options.
As part of this effort, five bathrooms across campus now offer free menstrual products as do some student offices, such as the First-Year Students’ Office. This initiative aims to remove barriers faced by students who may not always have access to these essential items, a challenge that can lead to preventable absenteeism and even lost employment opportunities.
Period poverty is rising in Canada and it is having a real impact on thousands of people who struggle to afford menstrual products each month. By making these supplies freely available, Dawson hopes to help reduce stigma, promote equity, and support student well-being.
In April, the campaign’s second phase will focus on sustainable menstrual products. Students will learn about the environmental and health drawbacks of disposable items and discover reusable alternatives such as menstrual cups and period underwear.
The project is being managed by the Office of Sustainability thanks to a donation to the Dawson College Foundation.

Dawson’s “Auntie” Brenda Paris part of McCord exhibit
January 29th, 2026
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. For Dawson support staff, professionals and managers, you could go see the exhibit solo or with colleagues and use your one hour per week (four hours/month) of Well-Being for All Hours.
