Photo essay: Members of the Dal community put on their brightest rainbow colours and took to the streets for community Pride parades in both Halifax and Truro — with the Halifax paraders winning best non-profit float.

An initiative led by Dal students, faculty and volunteers, Soapbox Science took to the Halifax Seaport Market earlier this month to open minds and excite the public with research from some of the region’s most talented female scientists.

Dalhousie celebrated the start of Pride in Halifax with the official raising of the Pride Flag on the Studley Quad Thursday afternoon.

Boxes, buckets, tarps and lumber might not seem like obvious play things — but “loose parts” play can have huge benefits for children, according to the Dal researchers behind a series of fun community events in Halifax this summer.

Technology’s impact on the world of business was in full focus at the Black Business Initiative (BBI) Summit last month, with Dalhousie providing support as a keynote sponsor and with several Dal community members as key participants.
