'Relax, we are double vaxxed': Hundreds of Dalhousie students attend street party
CBC
Despite gathering restrictions in the province, hundreds of Dalhousie University students took part in a homecoming street party in Halifax on Saturday.
They poured into several streets near campus, some setting off fireworks on the way.
As of 6 p.m., a number of smaller groups could still be seen in the area.
On Friday, the university issued a news release that said it was aware of "large, unsanctioned parties being planned off campus."
It reminded students that large gatherings during the pandemic posed a risk to the community and said the university fully supported work by the police to deter "unsafe and disrespectful behaviours."
Halifax Regional Police also issued a release on Friday saying it would continue its presence in university neighbourhoods on the weekend to discourage unruly behaviour and ensure public health guidelines were being observed.
But the warnings didn't deter the hundreds of students attending Saturday's street party.
