ENvironnement JEUnesse (ENJEU) has certified that 星空传媒视频 has met the criteria for the excellence level of its C茅gep Vert program. This means that Dawson is at the highest level of CEGEPs that are committed to environmental education and action.

鈥淭hey gave special mention to our Dawson Wetlands Project, completed in Paul Wasacz鈥檚 Eco-Landscaping Physical Education course,鈥� said Chris Adam of Dawson鈥檚 Office of Sustainability.

The wetlands project is a national demonstration project supported by Colleges and Institutes Canada through its ImpAct program and is also the subject of a documentary film. The students in Phys. Ed. made an eco-habitat that receives and filters rainwater from the roof, while absorbing CO2. It is on the west side of the building off the E wing and has become an important stop for Living Campus tours given to guests visiting the College.

鈥淚 believe C茅gep Vert is the most developed and largest provincial college network for sustainability in Canada,鈥� Chris said. 鈥淏eing recognized by C茅gep Vert is the latest recognition that the Living Campus approach and commitment to well-being for all is worth pursuing.鈥�

鈥淐EGEP Vert鈥檚 criteria help assess Dawson鈥檚 ability to build community while working to reduce our environmental footprint and embrace social justice issues,鈥� Chris said.

There are so many people at Dawson to thank for achieving C茅gep Vert excellence. 鈥淭he Office of Sustainability does the tracking and reporting. However, this achievement is thanks to the work of everyone in the Dawson community, especially the Facilities Management team and many teachers working on climate action,鈥� he said.

Dawson is currently working on the next cycle of reporting for the certification. In 2020, Dawson achieved AASHE gold.
