History Steering Committee
A Brief History of Teens Encounter Christ in Nova Scotia
TEC Nova Scotia began in 1992 when a small group of individuals met to discuss a vision for the establishment of a TEC movement in Nova Scotia. Gradually, more and more people expressed interest in pursuing this vision. In an effort to train leaders for the movement in Nova Scotia, people were sent to Newfoundland and Calgary to experience a TEC weekend. As leaders were trained and interest grew, plans were underway for TEC 1 Nova Scotia. The first TEC weekend in Nova Scotia was indeed held on the Victoria Day weekend of 1995. Since that time, the movement has carried on with weekends in '96, '97, '98, '99, and 2000 as well as ongoing activities and TEC reunions. Team are currently preparing for the 7th TEC weekend in Nova Scotia to be held on the Victoria Day weekend of this year (2001). The TEC Movement in Nova Scotia is a sub-group of the larger Youth Ministry of the Diocese of Nova Scotia. Please contact your local Anglican parish priest for additional information and/or applications for the upcoming weekend!

http://www.commissionaires.ns.ca/history.htm

History
In 1859, Captain Edward Walter, a retired British Army officer who had served in the Crimean War, observed the plight of the British soldiers returning from war to a life of exclusion from society and even poverty. This made such an profound impression on him that he dedicated himself to making the later days of their lives honored and free from fear of want. They had been used to a standard of conduct, discipline and loyalty, and Captain Walter believed that with patience and encouragement, some way could be found to bring these valuble lessons and experience to good use. On 13 February 1859, Captain Walter with seven veterans, formed the first contingent of the Corps of Commissionaires by obtaining employment through friends and acquaintances. The following year, the Corps had eighty-nine members in London and attracted public attention. In the years that followed, Captain Walter formed many divisions of the Corps in Britain. On 25 July, 1925, a Charter was obtained by Letters Patent from the Government of Canada and three Companies were organized in Montreal, Toronto, and Vancouver.

Art Gallery of Nova Scotia
History of the Gallery
When the Art Gallery of Nova Scotia opened the doors to its new home on November 5, 1988, the long search for a permanent home for the provincial gallery had ended. The quest for a home began with the founding in 1908 of the Nova Scotia Museum of Fine Arts (NSMFA). Until the NSMFA took over operation of the Centennial Art gallery in a powder magazine at the Halifax Citadel in 1968, it held occasional exhibitions in borrowed spaces and accumulated a small collection of work. In 1975 NSMFA moved to a "temporary" location at Coburg Road and LeMarchant Street, a building that had just been vacated by the Nova Scotia College of Art and Design. In that same year the Art Gallery of Nova Scotia was established to replace the NSMFA and become an agency of the Province of Nova Scotia by an act of the provincial legislature. The Gallery is now in the former Dominion Building, designed by architect David Stirling and completed in 1867. The building has served Nova Scotians as a post office, customs house, law courts, and RCMP headquarters. The area in front of the main entrance (Cheapside), once a popular farmer's market, now is the Ondaatje Court, a gathering place for public programming and events and has featured performances, dances, artist's demonstrations and musical events. Renovations to transform this historic site to the need of a modern gallery began in 1985 under the direction of the Halifax architectural firm, Lydon Lynch Associates Limited.

Silicon Glen Celtic FAQ Cape Breton/Nova Scotia History
Trust me, Craig, you'll never read a more wonderful description of the Highland history of Cape Breton and Nova Scotia than the following from the Author's Note of Hugh MacLennan's "Each Man's Son" (1951, Little, Brown and Company. Boston):
"Continents are much alike, and a man can no more love a continent than he can love a hundred million people. But all the islands of the world are different. They are small enough to be known, they are vulnerable, and men come to feel about them as they do about women. Many men have loved the island of Cape Breton and a few may have hated her. Ericson was probably the first to see her, Cabot landed on her, and after Cabot came the French. She seemed harsh and frigid to the first new-comers, but the moment the French saw her their imaginations were touched and they called her the Royal Isle. After a while they built on her eastern rim the master fortress of Louisbourg to dominate Nova Scotia and guard the St. Lawrence (River).
When the wars began, the English and the New Englanders came up to Cape Breton and for a time she was as famous as Gibraltar. Louisbourg fell, the French were driven out, the English and Americans went home and for a third of a century the island was vacant again.

Nova Scotia History, The Cabot Trail Cape Breton Highlands, ........The history of the Cabot Trail begins with the Micmacs, who were the first inhabitants of the region. The name Micmac means "my kin-friends", these Natives lived throughout Cape Breton Island in small groups prior to being placed on reserves. In the year 1497 the first Europeans, led by the famed explorer John Cabot arrived on Cape Breton. Cabot's discovery of the island led to it's eventual settlement by Europeans, mainly by the Scots, Irish, French and English. This mixture of cultures remains on the the island to this day. Many of these European settlers came to the region in an attempt to escape persecution in their homelands. During the Acadian Expulsion, a number of the French escaped to Prince Edward Island and the Magdalene Islands. They later crossed over and settled in Cape Breton. Many of the English who settled in Cape Breton arrived as refugees after the American Revolution when being a loyalist meant confiscation of lands, social ostracism and possible death. Thousands fled in the years after the revolution, many of whom were given land grants from the British government as a reward for their loyalty. T he mid 1700's brought major changes to the Highlands of Scotland with the end of the Highland Clan System, increased population and a dim future. Many sought a better place to live and new opportunities. For these reasons many Scot's left their homelands and made new homes in Cape Breton. Cape Breton has since become a stronghold of Gaelic culture, some say more fiercely Scottish than Scotland. In the final years of the 18th Century, early

History and Politics
Two Algonquian peoples, the Abnaki and the Micmac, inhabited the area before Europeans arrived. John Cabot may have landed (1497) on the tip of Cape Breton Island; European fishermen were already making regular stops during their yearly expeditions. An unsuccessful French settlement was made in 1605 at Port-Royal (now Annapolis Royal); in 1610 the French succeeded at the same site. For the next century and a half France and England bitterly contested rights to Acadia , which included present-day Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, and Prince Edward Island. In 1621, Sir William Alexander obtained a patent from James I for the colonization of Acadia. Control alternated between France and England through several wars and treaties. Evangeline. With the influx (from 1783) of United Empire Loyalists leaving the American colonies, lingering sentiment in favor of joining the new United States was overwhelmed, and New Brunswick and Cape Breton became (1784) separate colonies. Cape Breton rejoined Nova Scotia in 1820. During the early 19th cent. thousands of Scots and Irish arrived. Under Joseph Howe, Nova Scotia became the first colony to achieve (1848) responsible (or cabinet) government. It acceded to the Canadian confederation as one of four original members in 1867 after considerable difficulty over economic arrangements. Nova Scotia has recently struggled to stabilize an economy damaged by decline in the mining and steel industries. Federal programs have been undertaken to develop secondary industries and to locate offshore oil or natural-gas deposits. Natural-gas production in the Cape Sable area, with pipeline transport to New England, is to begin in 2000.
