The King’s College Chapel is the Anglican chapel of the University of King's College in Halifax, Nova Scotia. It traces its origins to the 1789 founding of King’s College (then in Windsor) by Bishop Charles Inglis and Loyalists, the first chartered university in British North America. For its first century the college had no purpose-built chapel; religious services were held in campus halls or the local parish church. In 1877 the Hensley Memorial Chapel was erected on the original Windsor campus (named for Rev. J. M. Hensley). That stone Gothic Revival chapel (now part of King's-Edgehill School) exemplifies the high-church Anglican tradition of the time (it features Romanesque windows, steep gables, and a rose window). After a fire in 1920 destroyed King’s College’s Windsor campus, the college affiliated with Dalhousie University and moved to Halifax. Fundraising in the late 1920s made possible a new campus. The present King’s College Chapel, designed by Andrew R. Cobb, was built on Coburg Road in Halifax and consecrated on 2 October 1930 by Archbishop Clarendon Worrell.

University of King's College

The University of King's College, established in 1789, is in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada. It is the oldest chartered university in Canada, and the first English-speaking university in the Commonwealth outside the United Kingdom. The university is regarded for its Foundation Year Program, a comprehensive and interdisciplinary examination of Western culture through great books, designed for first-year undergraduates. It is also known for its upper-year interdisciplinary programs – particularly its contemporary studies program, early modern studies program, and its history of science and technology program. In addition, the university has a journalism school that attracts students from across the world for its intensive Master of Journalism programs and its Master of Fine Arts in creative nonfiction, the first of its kind in Canada. Its undergraduate journalism programs are known for leading content in digital formats. Although the university was first established as the King's Collegiate School in Windsor, Nova Scotia in 1788, a fire destroyed the original university in 1920, and the institution relocated to Halifax. The relocation was made possible with the help of Dalhousie University, which has since maintained a joint faculty of Arts and Social Sciences with King's. This partnership provides students at King's with full access to Dalhousie’s facilities and services. Despite this partnership, King's remains independent under its own charter.The university is located on the northwest corner of the Dalhousie University campus.

It is registered as a non-profit society under Nova Scotia's Registry of Joint Stocks using the name Chebucto Community Net Society. The name "Chebucto" comes from the local l'nu word for Halifax Harbour meaning "big water". Established in June 1994 in what was then the Dalhousie University Department of Mathematics, Statistics and Computing Science, then called the Chebucto Free Net, is now the oldest Internet Service Provider operating in the province of Nova Scotia and one of the first community nets in Canada. The Chebucto Suite or CSuite operating environment for free-nets was developed by Chebucto Community Net and used by many Canadian free-nets. Chebucto Community Net was also originally known as the Metro Community Access Network Society. CCN is a registered Canadian charity, and is a volunteer organization with representatives from across the municipality. CCN provides people in the HRM with Internet "tools and services for sharing the broadest range of information, experience, ideas, and wisdom." Originally offering only a text-based terminal access to Internet and email, Chebucto Community Net has offered full Point-to-Point Protocol Internet access since 1998. CCN provides Internet services for individuals and non-profit groups, including dial-up, web hosting, email and mailing lists. In June 2013, Chebucto Community Net's Manors Project began offering Chebucto Wireless Wi-Fi access to Joseph Howe Manor and H.P. MacKeen Manor, public-owned low-income seniors housing. This is the first non-profit public-run highspeed home Internet access in Atlantic Canada.CCN continues to be affiliated with Dalhousie University in Halifax with its registered office located in the Chase Building, home of Dalhousie University's Department of Mathematics and Statistics. CCN is a member of ACORN-NS, the Atlantic Canada Organization of Research Networks and the Halifax Regional Community Access Program.

Dalhousie University

Dalhousie University (commonly known as Dal) is a large public research university in Nova Scotia, Canada, with three campuses in Halifax, a fourth in Bible Hill, and a second medical school campus in Saint John, New Brunswick. Dalhousie offers more than 4,000 courses, and 180 degree programs in 12 undergraduate, graduate, and professional faculties. The university is a member of the U15, a group of research-intensive universities in Canada. Dalhousie was established as a nonsectarian college in 1818 by the eponymous Lieutenant Governor of Nova Scotia, George Ramsay, 9th Earl of Dalhousie. The college did not hold its first class until 1838, until then operating sporadically due to financial difficulties. It reopened for a third time in 1863 following a reorganization that brought a change of name to "The Governors of Dalhousie College and University". The university formally changed its name to "Dalhousie University" in 1997 through the same provincial legislation that merged the institution with the Technical University of Nova Scotia. There are currently two student unions that represent student interests at the university: the Dalhousie Student Union and the Dalhousie Association for Graduate Students. Dalhousie's varsity teams, the Tigers, compete in the Atlantic University Sport conference of Canadian Interuniversity Sport. Dalhousie's Faculty of Agriculture varsity teams are called the Dalhousie Rams, and compete in the ACAA and CCAA. Dalhousie is a coeducational university with more than 18,000 students and 130,000 alumni around the world. The university's notable alumni include a Nobel Prize winner, 91 Rhodes Scholars, and a range of senior government officials, academics, and business leaders.
