Hi all - just a reminder of our rally tomorrow at the house at noon Halifax time. Please join us if you can, and help share the word to friends, media and neighbours. If you're more comfortable, please wear a mask.

We're over 3,700 strong now - hopefully President Saini (deep.saini@dal.ca) and Dal's officials, Chancellor Scott Brison and Board of Governors are listening. 1245 Edward is not "uninhabitable," far from it - it could be adapted and repurposed into many uses. It needs some TLC, something it hasn't received since Dal purchased it (not even cutting the grass or plowing the driveway).

Here's an article from Halifax's The Coast - thanks to Victoria Walton.

And finally, if you could share our petition with 10 friends, that would help keep the pressure up on Dalhousie University.  Thank you for your support!

PS here's a little ditty you can sing (or record yourself on your phone and send it to Dal!) - inspired walking by the former tennis courts and a big cut down tree which Dal has demolished for a parking lot. Sung to the tune of "It's a Long Way to Tipperary."

It’s the wrong way, oh Dalhousie, It’s the wrong way to go.
It’s the wrong way, oh Dalhousie,
Smashing houses is a no!

Find a family who can live there,
Show your neighbours that you care,
It’s the wrong, wrong way, oh Dalhousie,
Let this home stay right there!
