April 5th, 2023
All students and employees at 星空传媒视频 are invited to join an initiative to identify 1,000 species in 1,000 days on Dawson鈥檚 downtown Montreal campus.
鈥淲e believe that identifying 1,000 species is possible but does pose a significant challenge,鈥� said Brian Mader, project lead and a biology teacher at Dawson. 鈥淲e invite all students and employees to join . The more people from our community who participate, the higher the chances of reaching our goal. This project will also nurture our Dawson community and encourage people to go outside and enjoy Nature.鈥�
