HALIFAX – A faculty strike at Halifax’s University of King’s College has been averted. 

King’s vice-president Tim Currie said in a statement on Thursday that the school’s board of governors and the teachers’ association reached a new collective agreement and ratified it Wednesday.

The faculty association said strike action could have begun in the morning after conciliation failed to produce a deal earlier this week.

Details of the agreement at the roughly one-thousand student school — known for its journalism program — were not released. 

The association has said previously that its members are the worst-paid full-time instructors in Atlantic Canada. 

Currie says classes and other academic activities will now continue as planned. 

This report by The Canadian Press was first published April 9, 2026.
