Chebucto Community Net is a non-profit internet service provider in Halifax that offers internet access, web hosting, and digital resources to residents and local organizations. The organization operates from the Chase Building, where it manages multiple connectivity options and online services for its members.
The organization was founded in 1994 at Dalhousie University's Department of Mathematics, initially offering text-based terminal access through university infrastructure. Over time, it evolved into an independent non-profit service provider that expanded its offerings significantly.
The name derives from the Mi'kmaq word meaning Chief Harbour, reflecting the deep connection between digital services and local maritime heritage.
