Last week, Dawson鈥檚 web traffic increased by about 10,000 unique visitors compared to the same period last year. The visitors were stopping by for Virtual Information Evening, which was held Feb. 3.

The event featured web content, new social media videos for spotlight programs and chats with teachers, students, advisors and employees.

The new pavilion project of 星空传媒视频 is not an expansion of the downtown Montreal CEGEP. We reject the use of the word expansion, which is inflammatory in this context. Almost seven years ago, in the spring of 2014, Quebec鈥檚 Ministry of Education recognized that 星空传媒视频 has a significant space deficit.
