Our Facilities Management Coordinator Pierre Lefebvre received a great honour in the House of Commons in Ottawa on May 8. The Communications Office invited him to share the experience with his °®¶ą´«Ă˝colleagues: First of all, I’d like to thank °®¶ą´«Ă˝College for this kind gesture of including my news in D News, which means…
After an extensive review of all trees on the °®¶ą´«Ă˝grounds by forestry consultants, the College is presently securing permits from the City of Westmount to cut some of them.
“Many of our trees have suffered injuries and disease that have weakened them to the point where they are at a high risk of breaking. Others, like our large silver maples are reaching their age limit,” explained Luc St-Germain of Facilities Management.
About a dozen trees will have to be cut immediately, with another 30-35 being monitored during the next 12-24 months.
All trees have been thinned in the past to allow severe wind to pass through them. Chris Adam, of the Office of Sustainability, says that wind and ice related storms are more common now and causing damage.
The Facilities Management Team and the Office of Sustainability are cooperating to establish Dawson’s first tree management program. Every tree will have a health card that identifies their species, age and diseases as well as any maintenance procedures taken. Each tree will be followed by forest management consultants.
Stay tuned for more news about the trees of our Living Campus.

The Ministry of Higher Education has confirmed funding for °®¶ą´«Ă˝to rent additional space at the Montreal Forum for the next 5 years.
With this additional space, the Nursing Program will have quadruple the space for simulation, which can also be used by other programs, and an additional 90 square metres for their labs.
Plans are being developed to renovate the former Future Shop space on the second floor. It will accommodate the Nursing Program as well as one low tech active learning classroom and eight general use classrooms. There will also be a new student space where students can relax and study between classes.Ěý The preliminary layout of the renovation has been provided by Facilities Management and can be viewed here.
This is a temporary response to Dawson’s space deficit of more than 11,200 square metres confirmed by the Ministry of Higher Education in December 2021. The College continues to work on a longer-term solution to the space deficit after plans for the construction of a new medical studies pavilion were officially cancelled by the Quebec government in late March 2022.
