For February 23, 2021
Shaar Shalom Lecture Wednesday
Don't miss the 2020-21 Shaar Shalom Lecture this Wednesday at 7 p.m., featuring Wes Hall and Dahabo Ahmed Omer of the BlackNorth Initiative. As we commemorate African Heritage Month, Hall and Ahmed Omer will discuss the historical context and cultural impact of systemic anti-Black racism in Canada, consider the influence of the Black Lives Matter movement, and share data showcasing evidence of anti-Black racism. Please register for free for details on how to join this virtual event.
The Public Health Agency of Canada is providing funding to the Canadian Longitudinal Study on Aging, a cross-country research platform led in part by Dr. Susan Kirkland of Dal's Department of Community Health and Epidemiology.
The pandemic presented some challenges for Promoting Leadership in health for African Nova Scotians (PLANS) to offer its regular camps for teens, but an unexpected grant provided the perfect opportunity to connect with African Nova Scotian high school students interested in careers in the health professions.
