With baseball's playoffs getting underway, English prof Bart Vautour will be watching not only as a fan, but as the instructor behind Dal's new course offering on baseball and literature.

Residents, students and the Dalhousie community came together to bring a colourful street mural to life at the intersection of Larch and Jennings in Halifax designed by Mi’kmaw artist Tayla Fern Paul.

As Treaty Day approaches, "Treaty-Informed Teaching," a new course from Dal's Centre for Learning and Teaching, is set to offer faculty the opportunity to understand treaty perspectives as they relate to education and learning.

This weekend is an extremely important one here at Dalhousie and in Mi'kma'ki. With the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, Orange Shirt Day, Treaty Day and the launch of Mi’kmaq History Month, is a time for honouring and learning from the past as we reflect on our commitments and responsibilities now and into the future.

The portrait of Mi’kmaw editor, author and activist Elder Daniel Paul, painted by the acclaimed Mi’kmaw artist Alan Syliboy, now hangs in the Marion McCain Arts and Social Sciences Building at Dalhousie.
