Dalhousie condemns 'reckless behaviour' of students after street parties near campus
CBC
Dalhousie University has condemned the actions of students who took part in unsanctioned street parties near the university campus over the weekend.
A statement Sunday came from Deep Saini, president and vice-chancellor, Frank Harvey, provost and vice-president academic, and Verity Turpin, the acting vice-provost for student affairs.
The university said that while the majority of its students heeded warnings not to attend, many ignored the warnings. The university said it is working to ensure that they face the consequences of their actions.
Hundreds attended a party in the Jennings Street area on Saturday afternoon. Halifax police estimated that thousands attended another party in the same area Saturday night.
Halifax police say they arrested nine men and one woman for public intoxication. They also issued "numerous" tickets for carrying open liquor.
Relations with the surrounding community have been strained in recent years because of the partying, the statement said.
The university described the gatherings as "reckless, dangerous and disruptive" and said no one should be made to feel unsafe in their own home.

Mark Carney and Pierre Poilievre faced the critical glare of the mega-popular Radio-Canada talk show Tout le monde en parle on Sunday in an attempt to woo francophone viewers, with the Liberal leader being pressed on his cultural awareness of the province and his Conservative rival differentiating himself against perceptions in Quebec he is a "mini-Trump."
