“Making a Difference: Considering a Career in Canada’s Dynamic
Non-profit Sector”

The School of Public Administration welcomes you to attend a public lecture on Tuesday, March 17 at 4:00 in Rowe 3089.

Marcel Lauzière, a national leader in the non-profit sector in Canada, will be on hand to provide you with insights and advice on launching a rewarding career in the country’s non-profit sector – a sector made up of approximately 170,000 charitable organizations that employ more than two million Canadians.

Dalhousie’s student chapter of Librarians Without Borders, and the Association for Canadian Archivists, will be holding their annual book sale on Friday, March 27 and Monday, March 30. The sale will take place on the main floor of the Student Union Building.

Donations are currently being accepted in the common room.
