April 2024

A family connection led Tessa MacIsaac, Inverness County, Cape Breton, to the Faculty of Agriculture and this same family connection was celebrated last Friday, April 5th with the presentation of four rings at the 2024 #Barley Party.

From family connections to lifelong friendships, the Faculty of Agriculture’s Barley Ring feels like home for many students and alumni, the latest group of whom were honoured April 5th at the 2024 Barley Party.

In collaboration with Canadian pet nutraceutical company Adored Beast Apothecary in Moncton, NB, Dr. Vasantha Rupasinghe, professor, Dalhousie University Faculty of Agriculture, is developing a manufacturing process for pet nutraceutical products to help manage cancers of dogs.
