Edmund Walker Head

Sir Edmund Walker Head, 8th Bart, K.C.B. (Wiarton Place, near Maidstone February 16, 1805 – January 28, 1868 London) was British colonial administrator. He was simultaneously Governor General of the Province of Canada and Lieutenant Governor of Canada West and Canada East (1854-1861) and formerly Lieutenant-Governor of New Brunswick. He was an Oxford scholar and tutor who published several books.

While Lieutenant-Governor of New Brunswick, Head authorized the creation of an engineering faculty at the University of New Brunswick. This was the first such programme in what would become Canada. In his honour, the buildings housing this faculty at UNB are called Head Hall. The city of Edmundston, New Brunswick was named after him.
