On Saturday night I took part in the 20th annual 'For the Health of It' competition by being one of three judges.
The event took place at the Rebecca Cohn Auditorium and featured all eight Dalhousie health professions (medicine, dentistry, physiotherapy, occupational therapy, human communications disorders, health sciences, pharmacy, and nursing). Each profession was responsible for performing a skit no longer than 12 minutes, they all needed to educated the audience on their specific profession, and they could not have more than two dance routines. All of the skits were wonderful and many received awards for aspects such as comedy, professional production, and educational value. The winner of the entire event was the School of Human Communication Disorders. Their skit had a Sesame Street theme and did a fabulous job at incorporating education, dancing, and singing.
Tickets were $15 each and the auditorium was full. All money raised went to LOVE - an organization in Halifax that runs long-term youth violence programs.
The event was wonderful to attend and is a great example of the diverse traditions that take place at Dalhousie.
