Classes go gardening during Peace Week
September 15th, 2021
Many classes, including Anna-Liisa Aunio's Individual and Society class, participated in gardening activities this week as part of Peace Week 2021.
Anna-Liisa's students, mostly in the Child Studies Profile of the Social Science Program, were weeding and documenting insects. They found bees, honey bees, spiders and katydids in the Peace Garden.
"They had so much fun!" Anna-Liisa said. Gardening at Dawson is often a first-time experience for students.

The Monarch butterfly chrysalises were all adopted by Dawson teams and employees, including a few first-timers. As of today, 93 have been tagged and released in the Peace Garden.
Come enjoy a wonderful moment with the butterflies every day at the Peace Garden (near Sherbrooke and Wood corner of the campus) at 12 p.m. Many of the remaining chrysalises are quite advanced- so make a plan to see them this Thursday or Friday.
