Dawson K-Pop team was front page news

November 8th, 2023

Dawson鈥檚 K-Pop dance team, IntenCITY, under Campus Life, was featured on the front page of The Montreal Gazette on Nov. 1. The dancers hosted a Random Dance Play activity where snippets of K-Pop songs are played. If you know the choreography of the dance, you jump onto the dance floor and dance in unison. The activity always brings a lot of spectators and of course, K-Pop dance fanatics.

鈥淒awson has competed in the Intercollegiate Triple Crown K-Pop Dance competition the last four years,鈥� said Michelle Lee of the Campus Life team in Student Services. 鈥淲e brought home the trophy the last two years. We compete against Vanier, Marianopolis, Champlain, John Abbott, and last year, Br茅beuf was included. Each school performs three dances. Dawson鈥檚 team, IntenCITY, is strong again this year and is working hard to hold onto the trophy at the 2024 competition.鈥�

People of all ethnic backgrounds are part of this community, not only Koreans, Michelle says.

Our Lady of Mile End is Sarah Gilbert’s first book

October 11th, 2023

Writer Sarah Gilbert (Faculty, English) was born in the United States, grew up in Winnipeg and lived in Ottawa before moving to Montreal. For the last three decades, the Mile End neighbourhood has been her home, and she chose it as the place where she would raise her daughter.

鈥淭he Mile End is a real muse. It is a very dense neighbourhood with a lot going on,鈥� she said in an interview with Dawson鈥檚 Communications Office. 鈥淚 had acquired tons of content without noticing it.鈥�

is a collection of short stories about 鈥済entrification and displacement in a once affordable area that is feeling the squeeze of social and cultural transformation.

鈥淭he overlapping lives鈥攐f girls and women, tenants and landlords, neighbours and strangers, the old generation and the next鈥攃hart the tensions and affections among people living in a community that has turned into a destination,鈥� reads the description on the website of Anvil Press.

Sarah wanted her daughter to grow up somewhere where she knows the neighbours. When she had her baby, she had 鈥渁 free pass to talk to anyone,鈥� she said.

The fictional book project grew out of a blog Sarah created called in 2008. That project was journalistic and through it, Sarah documented the endings of neighbourhood businesses and characters and some of the new beginnings of the neighbourhood in transition.

The Mile End is still a real community, Sarah says, citing density and walkability as important factors in fostering community. Neighbourhood gathering spots, like the caf茅s, the library, the local grocery store and the school, are also important.

鈥淚 watch the neighbourhood by walking around,鈥� she said. 鈥淭here are neighbours who know each other and send their kids to the same school up the street and there are a lot of artists. There are people you see regularly who you may not know but they are part of your personal landscape.鈥�
