Dalhousie Conservative Club
The Dalhousie Conservative Club brings together young like-minded conservatives to socialize and network during their years at Dalhousie University. We’re united by a shared vision of a province and a country that is fiscally responsible and socially progressive. Members of the Conservative Club have the unique opportunity to strengthen Canada’s conservative movement by networking with fellow young conservatives, joining Canada’s largest think tanks, and supporting the efforts of Atlantic Canada's conservative parties.
The Dalhousie Conservative Club recognizes that in order for students and youth to have their concerns prioritized by federal and provincial governments they must play an active role in the political process. It is for this reason that we work alongside the Conservative Party of Canada and the PC Party of Nova Scotia to engage students in the political process in a multitude of ways. These include volunteering at political rallies, door-knocking throughout the city of Halifax, attending EDA Board Meetings, hosting guest speakers, and attending party functions. These opportunities allow students to network with like-minded people throughout Halifax, Nova Scotia, and all of Canada. It also provides our members wit the chance to enrich themselves in the political process, becoming well-versed in the issues, learning about campaign operations, and about all the local work that goes into maintaining a political party. This experience is critical in building the leaders of tomorrow.
Additionally, in an environment where conservatives have traditionally been outcasted and stigmatized, the Dalhousie Conservative Club is a welcoming space for conservative-leaning minds on the Dalhousie campus. The club envisions a future that is socially progressive and fiscally conservative, one that respects multiculturalism, women, people of colour, and the 2SLGBTQIA+ community, and one that addresses the challenges that youth face in today’s society!

Each year, our philanthropic initiatives come to life through an annual Christmas fundraiser, where we work diligently to provide holiday gifts to the children of incarcerated parents. This effort not only brings a spark of joy to these young lives but also fortifies the connective tissue within our communities. Furthermore, our organization commemorates Black History Month with a dynamic speaker series hosted within the law school. This event features influential thought leaders in the legal field who provide invaluable insights and engage in critical discussions that enrich our understanding of law through the lens of African Canadian history and experiences.
Through these initiatives and more, our organization plays an instrumental role in cultivating a sense of community and collegiality among our members while making meaningful contributions to the African Nova Scotian community.

Dalhousie Global Brigades - Medical
Global Brigades (GB) is the world’s largest student-led international relief organization. GB’s mission is to provide communities in developing countries with sustainable solutions under a holistic service model to improve health, water, sanitation, and economic infrastructures.
Global Brigades (GB) is the world’s largest student-led international relief organization. GB’s mission is to provide communities in developing countries with sustainable solutions under a holistic service model to improve health, water, sanitation, and economic infrastructures.
Dalhousie University Medical Brigades is chapter of GB. We have been a ratified society for at least 6 years, dedicating approximately 415 hours to our cause each year. In June of 2024, members of Dalhousie Global Brigades worked function as a mobile medical unit in Greece. This involved setting up small clinics to diagnose and treat patients at no cost. The communities in Greece are low-income with limited or no access to medicine, with a high population of refuges so there is a great need for medical attention. From intake, triage, and medical consultations, to filling prescriptions, we work with licensed medical professionals to positively impact these communities in need.
I was fortunate enough to travel to Honduras and Guatemala with Dalhousie Global Brigades, over the last two years to embark on my first twos Medical Brigades. It became discernible how important this mission was to the community volunteers of Tecpan; their presence was inspiring and humbling. Through the implementation of community member involvement, these empowered leaders will continue to inspire, develop, and push for the sustainable equality that all brigade members, staff, and community members are searching for.
Sustainable development refers to the economic, social, environmental, and human advancement of the present generations while ensuring that future generations have accessible resources to perform this same commission. One component of Global Brigade’s Holistic Model is to create sustainable health systems. This, in combination with economic development, and the water and sanitation infrastructure, sanctions the desire to overcome poverty while in turn providing sustainable programs that community members can rely on. One element that GB incorporates into their programs to triumph sustainability is community involvement. All projects developed by GB have an aspect of community-led sustainability which, through desirability and initiation, leads to community development and volunteers who are committed to creating change.
GB student volunteers are responsible for reaching their donation goal before proceeding with the brigade. This donation goal contributes to GB’s Holistic Model by supplying GB’s Sustainable Health Fund which allows for year-round health care in communities in need. This implementation upholds the objectives of community health workers, patient referrals, community pharmacies, and evaluates the impact of this program on targeted communities. Through GB’s stabilizing actions, each targeted community is eligible to receive a brigade every 3-4 months, granting healthcare access to hundreds of patients that would otherwise be inaccessible.
As a society, Dalhousie Global Brigades – Medical does an excellent job of being present while directly addressing many countries' demands by implementing, and continuously developing a sustainable lifestyle. Experiencing firsthand the ambition that the volunteers native to Tecpan possessed, was brilliant. The developing world cannot provide the most basic needs for its people. Together, inspired student leaders, volunteers, and enthused native community volunteers/members will bring GB one step closer to achieving the sustainable lifestyle that all countries deserve.
