Perks for Dawson Employees, Well-being for all

How colleagues are enjoying well-being hours

This group of Dawson walkers enjoyed a Black History Month tour led by Paul Wasacz on Feb. 12 in St-Henri and Little Burgundy. They used a lunch hour and one well-being hour to participate.

Other examples of Dawson employees using well-being hours include an outing of colleagues to the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts, a snowshoe evening hike on Mount Royal and volunteering at Dawson Dinin'.

Since the fall, Dawson employees have one well-being hour/week or four well-being hours/month.
