| Holy
Cross Hospital School of Nursing |
Calgary, Alberta |

1979 |
|
The Holy Cross Hospital was
founded in January 1891 by four nuns of the Order of the Sisters of Charity
(Grey Nuns of Montreal). In 1907 the Holy Cross School of Nursing was
established under the direction of Sister M. Fafard, and in 1910 five lay
nurses became the first graduates of the School. Students of all
denominations were accepted, and by its closing in 1979, the School had
graduated 2410 nurses.
In 1970, the School came under the jurisdiction of the Metro Calgary and
Rural General Hospital District No. 93, along with the Rockyview Hospital and
Holy Cross Hospital. During the 1970s, the three-year hospital-based diploma
program fell victim to declining enrollment and a tighter job market for
nurses in Canada. The Holy Cross School of Nursing ceased enrollment in
September 1977, with the June 1979 graduates being the last to receive their
diplomas from the School. |

|
Anglican |
In 1902, Bishop John Dart (New
Westminster) informed the "English Association for New Westminster and
Kootnay" of the need for a diocesan theological school to train
clergymen for western Canada. No significant action was taken until 1910 when
a large grant from an Anglican conference held in London, UK, was designated
with the stipulation that it be used only for a provincial theological
school. This event provided the impetus for three British Columbia Bishops to
prepare a plan for theological education in the province. It was approved by
the Provincial Synod and the English donors who distributed the funds through
the British Columbia and Church Aid Society. St. Mark's Hall opened in 1912
at 1249 Davie Street, Vancouver, as one of the two training existing schools.
In 1913 St. Mark's Hall was incorporated. In 1920, it merged with Latimer
Hall, becoming a unified body under the name, "The Anglican Theological
College of British Columbia" (A.T.C.) and moved to the Latimer Hall building
on Haro Street, Vancouver. In 1927 the College moved into a new building on
the University of British Columbia campus. In 1971 ATC amalgamated with Union
College to become Vancouver School of Theology. |
