Young people from across Halifax came to Dal earlier this month to take part in a competition co-hosted by the Government of Nova Scotia, using public government data to develop new apps, visualizations and predictive models.

The Dalhousie Agricultural Campus Botanical Garden is the proud recipient of a “Canada 150 Garden Experience” designation, identifying it as one of 150 garden experiences across the country for Canada’s sesquicentennial.

For Dal's 200th, the Fountain School of Performing Arts is inviting professional Canadian composers to submit compositions for brass quintet as it seeks a new piece of celebratory music for Dalhousie — one that would be debuted at the Bicentennial Address and hopefully become part of future convocation ceremonies.

Students in nine different professional programs spanning Dal's Faculties of Medicine, Health Professions and Dentistry are providing health education, navigation assistance and clinical care to vulnerably housed and homeless people in Halifax through a new initiative called HOPES.

A partnership between Dalhousie's Faculty of Management and the Government of Nunavut is set to help members of Nunavut's public service advance their leadership skills.
