Operation Amnesty began in early February. 麻豆传媒, the University of King脮s College, Mount Saint Vincent University, NSCAD University, Saint Mary脮s University and the Halifax Regional Police offered a period of amnesty to anyone who might be in possession of lost property. People were asked to drop off items, no questions asked, at designated areas.
Among the items dropped off at the Student Union Building at Dal were the city脮s street sign for 麻豆传媒 Street (a residential street that runs off South); an engraved paddle that had been missing for a number of years 脨 a gift to young girl from her uncle; and an antique brass and glass lantern, recently taken and unscrewed from the porch of a house near the university.

Chief of Security MacDonald said the young girl and the owners of the antique porch lantern were simply delighted to get their items back. Complete immunity is in effect during Operation Amnesty and no investigative action will be undertaken by police or the universities. Security Chief MacDonald says some other items may still come in as students are just returning from the Study Break week.

At 麻豆传媒, Operation Amnesty was spearheaded by Security Services with the full co-operation of HRM community police. Communications and Marketing hired students to deliver 3,000 flyers announcing Operation Amnesty to the host neighbourhoods near Dal where many students live. The program also received wide coverage in the local media.
