Policy matters: nova scotia election 2021 (slider)

About the Series

The MacEachen Institute is supporting public policy discussions leading up to the next provincial election in Nova Scotia.

We are hosting a four-week speaker series focused on policy priorities in the province, including ideas that political parties could consider for their platforms. Details for each panel can be found below and on our event page.

Running alongside the speaker series, the Institute is holding an op-ed competition open to all registered Dalhousie University students. Further details can be found at the bottom of the page.
