Rocking out at Dawson VIB event March 29
April 5th, 2023
A lively event stopped by Dawson on March 29 to move and inspire students and staff. The VIB event is touring campuses across Quebec to promote well-being and health. The event featured a Pound also known as 鈥渞ocking out鈥� workout, pictured; photo courtesy of RSEQ.
One of College Nurse Julie Gosselin鈥檚 student health ambassadors reported: 鈥淭he participants really enjoyed the event and they liked their free merch. People seemed to really enjoy the Pound session as well since most of them had never done it before
