Winter Weather Advisory
Please be aware that during the winter months, Dalhousie campuses may close due to adverse weather conditions. In the event of a closure, we will make every effort to re-accommodate our guests on tour and will reach out to you via phone and email with updates.
For guests traveling for campus tours, we recommend planning to return home the day after your tour, if possible. This way, we can typically arrange for a tour on the day following any closures. A note that Dalhousie is unable to cover any travel costs that are related to university closures impacting campus tours. Thank you for your understanding!
