2014 Atlantic Student Essay Contest Winners

In 2014, we held the first Atlantic student essay contest for undergraduate and graduate students writing on any subject matter related to public policy in Atlantic Canada. Papers needed to take a critical approach and consider progressive policies that advance social and economic justice, and/or environmental sustainability, in any discipline, or in multi-disciplinary studies. We were very pleased with the quality and number of entrants to the essay contest. Many thanks to all who entered!

We also want to thank Alexandra Dobrowolsky and Neal Livingston, who along with CCPA-NS Director, Christine Saulnier, served as adjudicators for the award. You can read the award winning essays below:
