History
The No. 7 Stationary Hospital Benevolent Association was created in 1915 in response to the establishment of the No. 7 Canadian Stationary Hospital (Dalhousie University), an overseas hospital unit from Halifax that served in England and France, posted for over a year close to the front in the northern French village of Arques. The Benevolent Association established a fund to support members of the unit and their surviving relatives. In August 1975 the fund was closed out and the remainder of the monies transferred to Dalhousie University.
