Thousands of bulbs planted on campus this month
November 24th, 2023
Student volunteers worked with the Office of Sustainability on Nov. 14 to plant 2,700 bulbs in the Peace Garden in just two hours! Five hundred of those bulbs were planted around the big tree in the Chiefs鈥� Garden, Jenn de Vera said.
The volunteers planted more bulbs in other areas around the campus later that week. Pink bulbs were planted near Anastasia鈥檚 tree, which was planted in memory of Anastasia De Sousa. Around the Peace Pole, blue and red bulbs were planted to represent the new partnership with Canadore College. The North Bay college received some bulbs from Dawson and will be sending photos in the spring of their blooming campus.
A total of 4,000 bulbs were planted at Dawson in the Peace Garden and the Three Sisters Garden. Hundreds more have been gifted to partner institutions and organizations.
The tulips and spring bulbs were purchased from a Dutch wholesale supplier by the Dawson Foundation. It was Dawson鈥檚 biggest bulb order ever.
Dawson moose activity made the news
November 8th, 2023
The First Peoples鈥� Centre hosted a traditional moose field dressing and cookout on the west grounds of the College on Oct. 24. Under the guidance of elders and knowledge holders, Cree, Inuit and Kanien始keh谩隇塳a students participated in the preparation, while welcoming other members of the Dawson community to participate as well. Over the course of the day, students from many communities were able to reconnect with customs not commonly practiced in our urban setting.
Tiawent铆:non Canadian of the First Peoples鈥� Centre oversaw the planning of the successful event that will generate other learning opportunities over semesters to come. This winter, students will tan the moose hide during an outdoor activity, and Brian Mader of the Environmental Science program will use the moose skull for a biology course activity. The food prepared during this initiative will feed students at the First Peoples鈥� Centre well into the winter semester.
The First Peoples鈥� Centre thanks Living Campus and the Dawson Foundation for providing a chest freezer for food storage following the event.
CBC News was on campus to report on the activity. See their coverage of the story here:
