Our Story
NSPIRG has been serving Dalhousie, Kings and the wider community since 1990 as a social and environmental resource centre! Currently, full-time students pay a $3/semester levy towards our operating costs. We are requesting an increase of $1.50/semester, to allow us to grow our staffing and programming capacity!
Public Interest Research Groups (or PIRGs) have a long history of grassroots organizing social movements, research and educational campaigns on campus communities all across North America. As early as 1970, PIRG groups have been fighting for the rights and freedoms of students, people, communities and the planet at home and across the globe. They have been vital components to achieving success in unionizing, climate action, anti-war, lower tuition, affordable housing, divestment, sexual/racial anti-violence, food security, harm reduction, and student rights campaigning - and NSPIRG is no exception.
NSPIRG has a 30 year history of campaigning for social and environmental right within the academic institution and beyond.
On campus, NSPIRGs grassroots, research and organizing efforts have led to the establishment of student societies such as The Loaded Ladle, Divest Dal and South House, student services including the Survivor Support Centre, Student Community Garden, Food Bank and DSU Market and even the development and direction of offices such as Human Rights and Equity Services, DSU Sustainability Office and DSU Equity and Accessibility Office. We have been advocates on policy development, divestment commitments and work to keep the student union and administration accountable to the students we serve. Our funding rounds have been essential in helping non-levied societies provide programming to students, initiating community and campus projects and research and have proved instrumental in maintaining non-profit services to marginalized students and community members.
