Multifaith Services
Â鶹´«Ã½ÌýMultifaith ServicesÌýoffers an open door to all Â鶹´«Ã½ and King's students, staff, and faculty — no matter what their faith, philosophy, or doubt may be. We support the spiritual wellness of students and staff and the creation of safe space on campus. We do this by providing private counseling and immediate crisis response; promoting opportunities for inter-faith dialogue and spiritual development; working cooperatively with partners on and off campus; offering programs and events designed to develop respect and understanding between and among people of diverse spiritual and religious backgrounds.
What we do
- Offer confidential counselling on personal and spiritual issues on a drop-in basis and by appointment or online.
- Host programs focused on spiritual wellness and spiritual practice.
- Plan workshops, arts events, student retreats, social activities, and meals that contribute to a healthy, compassionate, and just campus environment.
- Collaborate with university staff and students in response to a crisis on campus.
- Help students connect with specific local communities of faith and practice, and with interfaith activities in the area.
- Coordinate services of worship such as the annual Faculty of Medicine Service of Remembrance.

Academic Accommodation for Religious, Indigenous and Spiritual Observances
Religion is one of the protected characteristics under the Nova Scotia Human Rights Act. Â鶹´«Ã½ recognizes that, on occasion, the timing of a student’s religious, Indigenous, or spiritual observances and that of their academic obligations may conflict. In such cases, students are entitled to request an academic accommodation. The University will provide reasonable academic accommodation for students that is consistent with the NS Human Rights Act, through respectful, accessible, and fair processes.
