Labour Day is not just a holiday…

it’s a day to remember the struggles of workers past, present and future. The rights many of us hold were won through generations of organizing, striking, and refusing to accept exploitation.

They cut out the best part of the chant, though: I think it went "5, 6, 7, 8, come on Dal negotiate."

Two-Eyed Seeing Program @tesprogram.bsky.social · Aug 22

Testing, testing…is this thing on? We’re so excited to be joining Bluesky! 🦋

Our program is based in #Halifax #NovaScotia and built on the value of Etuaptmumk (Two-Eyed Seeing)-- looking at the world through more than one perspective.

Learn more about our program here: www.msvu.ca/academics/ba...

Our colleague Ann Sylliboy teaching families how to make luskinikn, a traditional Mi'kmaq bread. Ann is standing beside a large desk, facing several families sat at tables and chairs. This photo was taken at Pier 21, in Halifax NS.

4 people looking at a laptop. One person is holding a hand drum, and there is a smaller hand drum on the table in front of them. This is a photo of an activity we hosted with Native Council called Voice of the Drum, where we connected science and frequencies with the individual sounds each hand drum emits.

A photo of Krista, Cathy, and Cheyenne...the Two Eyed Seeing Program core staff!

6 people from one of our partnering communities kneeling in front of a boat made with the Two-Eyed Seeing Program. 5 of the people, all youth, are wearing Two-Eyed Seeing Program hoodies.

1000 faculty hit the picket lines tomorrow, 930 am, lockout by @dalhousieu.bsky.social. A first for CDN research intensive universities. A reckless move by the Board - jeopardizing the fall term, ruining relations with faculty for years to come. Join us on the picket lines to #keepdalstrong!
