Colchester, Ontario
Colchester, Ontario

Colchester is a community and unincorporated place in Southwestern Ontario, the southernmost settlement on mainland Canada, and the southernmost point with the exception of Point Pelee National Park. It is located on the north shore of Lake Erie, approximately 6 kilometres (3.7 mi) south of the town of Harrow. Colchester was formerly part of the Township of Colchester South and is now a part of the amalgamated Town of Essex within the County of Essex. Colchester shares its postal code with Harrow as N0R 1G0. Europeans began to settle in Colchester in the 18th century. Many United Empire Loyalists (or Pennsylvanian Dutch Pacifists) leaving the United States around the time of the American Revolutionary War were given land grants in Colchester. One such Loyalist was John Snider of Pennsylvania. In 1798 Snider was given Lot 82 along the lakefront and built a home for his family just west of the village. As the oldest known structure along Lake Erie's shoreline, the house was completed in 1813 and a letter from the time indicates that men were working on the home's roof as cannons roared during the Battle of Lake Erie. A few of these loyalist families (Tofflemire, Kratz, Monger) were captured at Ruddell's Station in Kentucky during the British/Indian raids under the command of Captain Henry Byrd in 1780 and taken by force north (~600 mi) to Detroit. After being freed when the Treaty of Paris was signed in 1783, most of the surviving families went to Grosse Ile and eventually to Essex County. Most of these lands have been passed from one generation with some families passing them to up to their 8th generation. The area was also a destination for slaves escaping the United States via the Underground Railroad in the mid-19th century, and for freed slaves during and after the American Civil War. In the 1870s a church was built along Dunn Road by many pioneering blacks, and it was named Zion African Methodist Episcopal (AME) Church. The church's cemetery still stands today on the western edge of the Road. Colchester was also the birthplace and hometown of railroad engineer and inventor Elijah McCoy, whose work was granted 45 patents in the US. Today, in addition to its many lakeside cottages, Colchester is home to several hundred year-round residents who have converted older homes and built new ones. Restaurants, a public beach, and a marina have been an important part of Colchester for some years now. The population is approximately 900. Colchester lies along the southernmost road on mainland Canada, County Road 50, and has recently become a tourist destination because of the nearby wineries, the beach and harbour, and the scenery of the area. The village is also home to Christ Church Colchester (Anglican) which has a long history dating back to the beginnings of Colchester as a settlement.

Assumption University (Windsor, Ontario)
Assumption University (Windsor, Ontario)

Assumption University is a Roman Catholic university in Windsor, Ontario, federated with the University of Windsor. It was founded in 1857 as Assumption College by the Society of Jesus and incorporated by an Act of the Parliament of Upper Canada, receiving Royal Assent, August 16, 1858. It entered an association with an Ontario university as the Assumption College of the University of Western Ontario (1920–1953) then became the Assumption University of Windsor in 1956, before changing its name again in 1964. When the University of Windsor was established as a secular public university in 1963, Assumption University entered into federation with the newly formed university. Assumption University also remains affiliated with Canterbury College (Anglican) and Iona College (Interfaith). Assumption University is a full member of the Association of Catholic Colleges and Universities in Canada (ACCUC). In 2024, Assumption University was admitted as a member of the Association of Catholic Colleges and Universities. Assumption has the distinction of originating the national championship trophy in men's college basketball. In 1963, the University of Windsor Alumni Association donated the award featuring a silver basketball, and named in memory of W.P. McGee for his outstanding contribution as both teacher and coach during the 1920s and 1930s. Assumption won the first McGee trophy, the only time it took the national title under the Assumption name. The University of Windsor would win it four times in that same decade (1960s). For more than 60 years, the McGee trophy has been awarded annually to the U Sports men's basketball champion. Assumption University has its own governance structure with a bicameral system consisting of a Board of Governors and a Senate. While it operates autonomously, Assumption is federated with the University of Windsor. Assumption University has representatives on the University of Windsor's Board of Governors, Senate, and Alumni Board of Directors. It retains its degree-granting powers for graduate studies within the area of theology as well as granting honorary degrees. It offers courses at both the undergraduate and graduate levels. In 2022, Assumption University established a Graduate Diploma in Catholic Studies attracting both Canadian and international students. As a Roman Catholic University, the Chancellor of Assumption University is automatically the Bishop of London. Since 2002, Bishop Ronald Peter Fabbro has served as Chancellor of Assumption University. In 2020, Assumption University appointed Dr. John Cappucci as Principal and Vice-Chancellor. Previous to this appointment, Dr. Cappucci served as Interim Principal from 2019 to 2020. One of Assumption University's most recognized programs is the Christian Culture Series. Since 1941, the Christian Culture Series Gold Medal has been presented to a prominent individual who exemplifies Christian ideals in their daily lives. In 2021, Assumption University marked the 80th anniversary of the Christian Culture Series Gold Medal. The year's recipient was Super Bowl XLVIII champion Luke Willson. Assumption University currently has an active campus ministry program that serves the students at the University of Windsor. Assumption University is home to the Stephen Jarislowsky Chair in Religion and Conflict. In 2022, after nearly thirty years, a Red Mass was finally celebrated in Windsor thanks to the collective work of Assumption University and the Red Mass Society of Windsor. At the Red Mass, the retiring Chief Justice of the Michigan Supreme Court, Bridget Mary McCormack received the inaugural St. Thomas More Gold Medal for outstanding service to the legal profession.
