    Reginald Edwards McGili University Historical Background of the English-Language CEGEPs of Quebec Abstract This article presents a detailed background of the political and social changes that existed before and during the time that Quebec' s CEGEP system came into existence. The objective of the article is ta proville both a general history of the educational changes in Quebec in the 1960s (and the subse­ quent opening ofthe French-language CEGEPs) and the eventual opening of Dawson College, the first English-language CEGEP, in September 1969. Commentary on political, social, and economic conditions add additional insights into Quebec' s present college and university education.

  • Living Campus Case Support
    Reconnecting people, community and Nature CASE FOR SUPPORT © Rosalia Cerro © Samuel Trudelle-Gendron COVER PHOTO: As a student at Dawson, Emilie Usher was a caretaker of the Ecological Peace Garden, member of the student-driven Green Earth Club and helped maintain the rooftop bee colonies. She is now employed maintaining urban honey bee colonies and enjoys educating society about these fascinating creatures. Reconnecting people, community and Nature* * The word Nature was introduced in the 12th century in reference to all of the living and non-living things in the [email protected] universe. A capital “N” was used out of respect and admiration. During the industrial revolution, as humans began advancing the economy through the depletion of Nature’s resources, the word came to be spelled with a lower case “n”, suggesting a reduced status in the collective world view. Living Campus is restoring its status with a capital letter. 1 DAWSON COLLEGE Dawson College is located in the heart of downtown Montreal in a historic build- ing on 12 acres of green space occupying an entire city block. The College’s student population numbers approximately 10,000, with day and evening students enrolled in more than 50 fields of study. It is the largest college (CEGEP) in the province and one of the most attractive, modern and well-equipped colleges in the country. We are a microcosm of the world with many languages, ethnic backgrounds, cultures and religions. Dawson College moved to the former Mother House of the Congrégation de Notre-Dame in 1988, consolidating all its facilities under one roof.

  • Vanier College's Women's & Gender Studies Presents Intersections
    INTERSECTIONS: IWW 2021 1 Vanier College’s Women’s & Gender Studies Presents Intersections: International Women’s Week 2021 MARCH 8-12, 2021 We acknowledge that the place in which we work and study is situated within the unceded lands of the Kanien’kehá:ka (Mohawk) peoples, part of the Haudenosaunee Confederacy. There is also a strong historic presence of Anishinaabe peoples in what is now known as the Greater Montreal area. Tio’tia:ke, or Montreal, has also long been, and continues to be, a gathering place for many First Peoples from all directions. We honour and thank the traditional custodians of this land and strive to work for the success of future generations. INTRODUCTION If the past year has taught us anything, it is that the inequities of the world we live in have become much more pronounced than at any other time since this century began. From the widespread death and injury wrought by Covid-19, to the seemingly incessant reports of anti-Black violence at the hands of the police, to the systemic (some might say overt) racism in our health institutions made stark by the horrific experience of Atikamekw patient Joyce Echaquan, to name but a few, the pain felt particularly by minoritized communities has been relentless, like an onslaught of harm coming from many directions. Events such as these cannot and must not be viewed in isolation, however; the reasons they occur are complex and complicated, and thus require complex and complicated analyses of how and why they come about in order to devise concrete and workable measures that lead to the weakening of the various structures that perpetuate social and economic stratification both locally and globally.
