The Canadian Corporation for Studies in Religion is a consortium of academic societies in the field of Religious Studies: Canadian Society for the Study of Religion, Canadian Society of Biblical Studies, Canadian Society of Patristic Studies, Canadian Theological Society, Societé canadienne de théologie, and Societé québécoise pour l'étude de la religion. The Corporation was founded for the purpose of "publishing a journal and other materials to serve the needs of scholars working in both the French and English languages in Canada in all fields of the academic study of religion."

Since its inception in 1971, the Corporation has published the journal Studies in Religion / Sciences Religieuses.

At the union of Upper and Lower Canada in 1841, the division of responsibilities between the offices of Civil Secretary and of Provincial Secretary and registrar was clarified, confirming an evolutionary trend. Where the Civil Secretary had been the principal channel of communication for the government before the Union, after 1841 the Provincial Secretary's office was the focus. This evolution in the bureaucracy paralleled and reflected the development of responsible government in the political arena.

While the office of the Civil Secretary to the Governor was unified in 1841, that of the Provincial Secretary and Registrar continued a separation based on geography. The old territory of Lower Canada was now termed Canada East and the old Upper Canada, Canada West. Parallel record-keeping systems were established by the Provincial Secretaries, using a numbered file registry system.

Formed in 1967, the Society represents the students of the School of Rehabilitation Therapy in their dealings with the faculty, administration, and general community. Representations also sit on the Senate, the Alma Mater Society, and various Canadian professional associations. The Society promotes student participation in the community through numerous charitable fund-raising activities.

Radio Station CFRC-FM is Queen's University's own radio station, broadcasting a variety of alternative, non-commercial programming to the campus and surrounding area at FM 101.9. The Station was the first radio broadcaster in Kingston, and is one of the oldest in the country. Its forerunner, an experimental station called 9BT run by the Queen's Wireless Club, came on the air on October 7, 1922, with a summary of a football game between Queen's and the Hamilton Rowing Club. The Station began broadcasting under its current call letters a year later on October 27 1923 with the play-by-play of a Queen's-McGill game. The letters CFRC are said to stand for "Canada's Famous Rugby Champions," a reference to Queen's Grey Cup-winning teams of the early 1920s (football was then called rugby or rugby-football). The Station was a CBC affiliate between 1936 and 1942, and during that time served as Kingston's main electronic source of national and international news. The current structure of the Station dates roughly from 1957, when Margaret Angus was appointed by the University as the first full-time, paid Director of Radio, and the CFRC Radio Club was established. The Radio Club continues today as a group of volunteers from Queen's and Kingston who operate the Station under the direction of the Station Manager, who in turn, reported to the Dean of Student Affairs. In 2003, the Station was brought under the auspices of the Alma Mater Society who now has responsibility for its operations. The Station plays a variety of rock, classical, folk, jazz, blues, and international music, and also broadcasts drama and sporting events. Its power output of 3,000 watts gives CFRC a broadcast radius of about 100 kilometres. The Station has broadcast in stereo since 1989. Among the Station's most venerated alumni are actor Lorne Greene, CBC Radio's Shelagh Rogers, and Globe and Mail columnist Jeffrey Simpson. The Station's history is told in the book, "In the Shadow of the Shield", authored by Arthur Zimmerman, Program Director of CFRC from 1984 to 1988.

The Pittsburgh Women's Institute was organized on the 24th of April 1924 . The organizational meeting was held at the home of Mrs. James English of Middle Road and the Departmental organizer was Mrs. Sirrett. Miss Crozier was the first President with Mrs. Colin Rogers serving as Secretary-Treasurer. One early major project was the purchase of a Hall, on Middle Road (formerly a Methodist church) which was sold in 1931. The main tenets of the Institute were to provide community help and leadership through a “non-partisan, non-sectarian and non-racial organization” of regional rural women. The Institute held many events raising funds for various local and international projects.
In the 1940s the Pittsburgh Branch established a relationship with the Oulton Women’s Institute of Norwich, England sending many parcels of food and clothing during, and after, the 2nd World War. It was a relationship that continued into the 1990s.
In addition to sponsoring and giving financial support to a variety of local groups the Institute also fostered many crafting opportunities (such as quilting) for its members. The members of the Pittsburgh branch donated tapestries to both the City of Kingston and the Pittsburgh Township office.
The Pittsburgh Women’s Institute ceased existing as a branch in, or around, 2010.
