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!
