Would you like some help from Miriam on Campus?
February 14th, 2025
Since its establishment in 1962, Miriam Home and Services has been providing rehabilitative, social, community, work and residential resources and services to people with intellectual disabilities and autism spectrum disorders so they can reach their full potential.
Two to three adults are regularly on campus at Dawson with the Miriam on Campus Program, which allows them to develop work abilities and acquire practical, hands-on experience working alongside employees.
They are available and eager to perform various tasks while developing autonomy. These tasks may include paper shredding, watering plants, dusting, helping in the cafeteria, laundry, shipping, and much more.
Would you like to know more? Do you have some jobs in mind? Contact Miriam coordinator Gilbert Delambre at gilbert.delambre.ccomtl@ssss.gouv.qc.ca or at 438-837-7191.

White Ribbon Campaign report
December 5th, 2024
To the wonderful Dawson Community,
On behalf of Student Services, we would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to everyone who volunteered their time to help raise awareness for the White Ribbon Campaign. A very special mention to Johanne Rabbat, Coordinator of Women's Gender Studies Certificate and Chair of the Religion department.
Since Monday, we have handed out roughly 500 ribbons, and have been able to connect with many community members.
They shared their personal stories and recollections of the tragic shooting at Polytechnique, which took place 35 years ago on Dec. 6, 1989.
To commemorate the 35th anniversary, we will be installing a small memorial table tomorrow, Friday, Dec. 6 at the top stairs on the 2nd floor.
