In the coming days and weeks, Dawson will be rallying our students, employees, graduates, supporters and community to put pressure on the Quebec government to reconsider its decision to cancel the infrastructure project that it agreed to in December 2020.

The College is collaborating with CEGEP partners, the Dawson Student Union, friends of Dawson and community organizations, as well as with Jennifer Maccarone, our local Member of the National Assembly.
Your support as Dawson colleagues will be called upon through an All Dawson email from the Communications Office. Students will be contacted via Omnivox and the community in general will be informed through traditional and social media.
These messages will provide suggestions on how you can help as individuals and by sharing with your networks as we actively seek support for Dawson through various channels. Stay tuned!
