She adds it’s just too much of a coincidence that the Glaze report copied the more controversial aspects of the former Minister of Education and Early Childhood Development Karen Casey’s Action Plan.

    “For Christ and Covenant:” a Movement for Equal Consideration in Early Nineteenth Century Nova Scotia

    “For Christ and Covenant:” A Movement for Equal Consideration in Early Nineteenth Century Nova Scotia. By Holly Ritchie A Thesis Submitted to Saint Mary’s University, Halifax, Nova Scotia in Partial Fulfilment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts in History © Copyright Holly Ritchie, 2017 November, 2017, Halifax, Nova Scotia Approved: Dr. S. Karly Kehoe Supervisor Approved: Dr. John Reid Reader Approved: Dr. Jerry Bannister Examiner Date: 30 November 2017 1 Abstract “For Christ and Covenant:” A Movement for Equal Consideration in Early Nineteenth Century Nova Scotia. Holly Ritchie Reverend Dr. Thomas McCulloch is a well-documented figure in Nova Scotia’s educational historiography. Despite this, his political activism and Presbyterian background has been largely overlooked. This thesis offers a re-interpretation of the well-known figure and the Pictou Academy’s fight for permeant pecuniary aid. Through examining Scotland’s early politico-religious history from the Reformation through the Covenanting crusades and into the first disruption of the Church of Scotland, this thesis demonstrates that the language of political disaffection was frequently expressed through the language of religion. As a result, this framework of response was exported with the Scottish diaspora to Nova Scotia, and used by McCulloch to stimulate a movement for equal consideration within the colony. Date: 30 November 2017 2 Acknowledgements Firstly, to the wonderful Dr. S. Karly Kehoe, thank you for providing me with an opportunity beyond my expectations. A few lines of acknowledgement does not do justice to the impact you’ve had on my academic work, and my self-confidence.

  • Probable Middle Carboniferous NW-SE Faulting in the Musquodoboit Valley, Nova Scotia, Canada

    Probable Middle Carboniferous NW-SE Faulting in the Musquodoboit Valley, Nova Scotia, Canada

    Probable Middle Carboniferous NW-SE faulting in the Musquodoboit Valley, Nova Scotia, Canada HOWARD V. DONOHOE JR.1, HEATHER J. CROSS2, AND PAUL BATSON3 1. Department of Geology, Saint Mary’s University, 923 Robie Street, Halifax, Nova Scotia B3H 3C3, Canada <[email protected]> 2. Dartmouth, Nova Scotia, Canada 3. APGNS, P.O. Box 91, Main Stn, Enfield, Nova Scotia B2T 1C6, Canada The search for potable groundwater has led to more information about post-Early Carboniferous NW-SE faulting in the Musquodoboit Valley. Scouts Canada’s Camp Nedooae located several kilometres north of Elderbank, Nova Scotia, needed several wells for an additional water source. Previous geological maps of the area do not suggest NW-SE faulting. The Valley in this location has a relatively thick cover of till and very few outcrops so knowledge of the bedrock is based on extrapolation from limited outcrops and relatively uncomplicated structure. The camp location was thought to be near a Goldenville Group basement high just to the north. Gently south- dipping Windsor Group shale, evaporite and limestone lie unconformably on the older rocks. Instead of finding the base of the Windsor Group and the unconformity, the first well (east block), 0.5 km southeast of Brown Lake was collared in Goldenville Group. The second well, 0.6 km west, was collared in gypsum and bottomed in limestone/dolostone with interlayers of gypsum. No fossils fragments were found anywhere in the well cuttings. We now surmise that the east block moved up and the west block moved down. With this knowledge of the bedrock and some topographic trends, we now believe NW-SE faulting has played a greater role in rock distribution in the Valley.
  • Aims 6Th Annual High School Report Card (Rc6)

    Aims 6Th Annual High School Report Card (Rc6)

    AIMS 6TH ANNUAL HIGH SCHOOL REPORT CARD (RC6) Nova Scotia High Schools Two years ago, a ruling by Nova Scotia’s Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Review Officer confirmed that the release of student achievement data was in the public interest. However, AIMS is still not able to report locally assigned exam grades or attendance in Nova Scotia schools, as some boards are still not able to access this information or simply refuse to do so. Following the closing of Queen Elizabeth High School in Halifax, last year’s top ranked school, we were assured a new school at the top of the rankings. Cape Breton Highlands Academy in Terre Noire jumped from third place in RC5 to take over the number one spot in the province, maintaining an ‘A-’ grade. Cape Breton Highlands was the only school in Nova Scotia to achieve an ‘A’ grade, with Charles P. Allen in Bedford also maintaining its ‘B+’ grade from last year to claim second spot in the rankings. Dalbrae Academy in Southwest Mabou saw its grade drop from an ‘A-’ to a ‘B+’ but still finished third overall. Several schools saw improvements of two grade levels. Rankin School of the Narrows and Pictou Academy-Dr. T. McCulloch School both improved from a ‘C+’ to a ‘B’ and finished eighth and ninth overall, respectively. Canso Academy (‘C’ to ‘B-’) and Annapolis West Education Centre (‘C’ to ‘B-’) also improved by two grade levels. Springhill Junior-Senior High School was the only school to see its grade decline more than two levels, falling from a ‘B-’ to a ‘C-’.
