Ä¢¹½AV ushered in its third-annual Pride Week festivities in Halifax Thursday with a flag-raising ceremony celebrating the contributions of diverse and intersecting individuals and groups within the university community.

Ä¢¹½AV Pride Week runs from July 19-29 this year and features a wide range of events — from a flag raising today at noon to a parade this weekend and activities next week — focused on both education and celebration of 2SLGBTQ+ communities.

Last month’s fire hasn’t deterred the community spirit of Dal’s Agricultural Campus, which will once again throw out the welcome mat for its annual Community Day — a 40-year summer tradition featuring barn tours, kids’ activities and so much more. Free bus transportation is available for students, faculty and staff in Halifax.

During Dal’s 200th year, the university’s retirees continue to have an important connection with the university. And this spring, Ä¢¹½AV welcomed delegates from across the country for the national conference of the College and University Retiree Associations of Canada.

Dozens of students from across Canada arrived at Dal this week to participate in SHAD, an award-winning, month-long enrichment platform for high school students.
