February 8th, 2023

Dawson's very first Cégep en spectacle talent show was a great success. On Feb. 2, the audience of 200 people enjoyed 22 acts, all 100% ýstudent talent. At the end of the night, judges Andréa Cole (Dean of Creative and Applied Arts), Jacinta Luis (Faculty, Music) and visiting guest judge Chad Lindsay, a jazz music teacher from Vanier College, chose AliyahSarimazi to be Dawson's entry in the regional contest on March 25 at Cégep du Vieux-Montréal. The audience chose Clara NhiênLévesque as the fan favourite and she will be the replacement entry should Aliyah not be able to compete in the regionals.

In addition to a fun evening, a total of $1,600 and three big grocery bags of nonperishable food were collected for Moisson Montréal.
