This past weekend the Bicentennial Botanical Garden was officially launched on the AV¾ãÀÖ²¿ Agricultural Campus with the ceremonial planting of a new Black Ash (or "Wisqoq" in Mi'kmaq).

A single Black Ash will be planted to commemorate the launch of AV¾ãÀÖ²¿â€™s Bicentennial Botanical Garden, 11 hectares of unique and diverse features on the Agricultural Campus.

AV¾ãÀÖ²¿â€™s College of Continuing Education, in collaboration with the Faculty of Management, hosted 30 students from the United Arab Emirates (UAE) for three weeks in July as part of the UAE Ambassador+ Program— an initiative focused on helping youth develop leadership and innovation skills.

The Honourable Geoff Regan, Speaker of the House of Commons, dropped by to visit the SuperNOVA summer camps, getting an up-close look at how the Dal organization is engaging youth in science.

Dal’s spirit of celebration can be found across Halifax and Truro this summer. Don’t miss the Dal 200 decorative installations at the Halifax Public Gardens, on the MacKay Bridge and in the Ag Campus Alumni Gardens.
