Dalhousie Aquaculture Student Society

Dalhousie Aquaculture Student Society (DASS) is a student-led undergraduate society open to everyone with an interest in the cultivation and rearing of aquatic organisms for scientific and industrial purposes. DASS welcomes people interested in the many facets of aquaculture including fish, shellfish, microorganisms, engineering, and more. Our goal is to give students knowledge, connections, and advice to be able to work and study in aquaculture.

As a society we organize hands-on activities to give students with a passion for aquatic species a deeper knowledge of aquaculture. Some activities we hope to organize this year include tours of local and international aquaculture facilities and research labs, studying larval species under microscopes, discussing cultivation methods, and exploring aquaculture technology. The biggest reason to join DASS is to gain knowledge and friendships from upper year students. Our exec team and members have different experiences within the field thus we organize meetings on picking classes, getting co-ops, choosing SEASIDE courses, doing honours research, getting applicable job opportunities, and more. We want to develop a deep sense of community and friendship within the societies, thus we organize intramural sports to foster these connections.

DASS wants to give students in this niche field of study connections with professors, potential employers, and peers to gain future opportunities. We host meetings and activities where students' interest and knowledge can be explored. We hope all people interested in or wanting to learn about aquaculture come to this inclusive and safe space. If you would like to join or have any questions feel free to email us at violetchilvers@dal.ca or send us a DM on instagram @dalaquasociety.

Kings & Dalhousie Bike Society

The Centre & its rentals are run by students, for students - we host rides and events and offer free bike loans to Dal & King's students as well as a shop for bike repairs.

We believe that helping people feel comfortable and confident working on their bike can help them save money, feel empowered, and show how fun and rewarding doing your own repairs can be. Our well-equipped shop has affordable parts and is staffed by knowledgeable mechanics who are happy to show you around, answer questions, and guide you through repairs!

The Society also regularly organizes rides of varying lengths in and around the HRM - these are a great way to spend time outside and get some exercise while meeting new people and enjoying some of the beautiful places in and around Halifax. Many are geared towards riders who want to build skills, confidence and familiarity with city riding while others are longer, more challenging, and will appeal more to experienced riders!

Dalhousie Oceanography Student Association

Our society offers a community to Oceanography grad students. We advocate for student's rights to the Department of Oceanography and we offer help to students when it comes to program requirements, work progress, difficulties with profs/supervisors etc. All Oceanography grad students are encouraged to join one or more of our committees to be actively involved in the DOSA community. Our society is very important to Oceanography grad students as we have about 50% international students and we are help them get settled here and include them in the community. The same goes for national students, but it is often more challenging for international students. We have established a great community in which students help each other out and make sure no one is left behind.

Our mission is to provide students who are interested in SCL with opportunities for learning, networking, and development.
