MacLennan Associates Architects is an architectural firm in the sole proprietorship of Neil Kirk MacLennan, MRAIC, OAA. Mr. MacLennan began his architectural vocation in 1954 and has since then involved himself in all the major aspects of professional and service practice in the business. His education in the professions of architecture and archaeology took place in several countries and he served internships under Louis I. Kahn in the U.S. and Heikki Siren in Helsinki. From 1959-1971, institutional building design was the mainstay of the partnerships that Mr. MacLennan was involved with. This work resulted in major hospitals in Toronto, Barrie, Kitchener, Brockville and Kingston. Since 1974 MacLennan and associates has competed for a wide variety of building types and complexity, with a specialization in the restoration of older and period buildings. The firm was established in 1972 to be a team of five highly-qualified persons. Workload has caused staff increases to as many as twelve but the firm has attempted to maintain the smaller number over the long term. From 1977 the firm served as a training office for the School of Architecture at the University of Waterloo. The firm closed in 1996 upon the retirement of Mr. MacLennan.

The Arts & Science Undergraduate Society (ASUS) was established in 1890 as the all-male Arts Society. The Arts Society was created by a group of students and took its current name in 1967 when the Arts Society merged with the all female Levana Society. The Levana Society was founded in 1888, at a time when women were not given the same rights as male students.

While its name has changed over the years, the fundamental purpose has remained consistent. We seek to enhance the educational experience of Arts & Science students in and out of the classroom and to represent and advocate on behalf of the student body to the faculty and administration.

The Society is governed by an elected President & Vice President, who are responsible to the student body through the legislation of ASUS Assembly. The President & Vice President hire a council of 5 commissioners and 1 officer who oversee a diverse range of committees.

Formed in response to growing concerns about the perceived erosion of research and teaching assistants, and undergraduate markers' rights, the Teaching Research Assistants Certification Campaign mounted a drive to unionize Queen's University graduate employees under the auspices of the Canadian Union of Public Employees (CUPE). Following a lengthy campaign begun in September 1997, this initiative was defeated in a certified vote in April 1998.

The present School of Policy Studies is the result of a merger, in 1994, with the School of Public Administration, founded in 1970, and the School of Policy Studies, founded in 1988. The school undertakes a broad program of graduate teaching, research, conferences and communication in the field of public policy and public management.

The Queen's University Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology traces its history to the founding of the Faculty of Medicine in 1855, when J.P. Litchfield was appointed Professor of Midwifery and Forensic and State Medicine. When Queen's officials discovered to their shock that Litchfield was not qualified to teach midwifery - indeed, he had never even attended a birth - they removed him from his post.

He was replaced in 1861 by Michael Lavell, who held the post of Professor of Obstetrics and Diseases of Women and Children. Obstetrics and Gynaecology were taught in conjunction with Children's Medicine until well into this century. The Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology was established as a separate unit in 1928.

Today, the department is centred in Kingston General Hospital, where practising faculty provide care for patients, conduct research, and teach. Major changes over the years include the expansion of pre-natal care and the development of a birthing centre in the hospital.

To address the needs of Canada's struggling mining industry, Canada's mining ministers and the Mining Association of Canada supported a consensus-making process that brought stakeholders together over a two-year period. Leaders from industry, government, First Nations peoples, plus labour and environmental representatives, met to identify and address the key issues facing the mining sector. The result was the formation of the Whitehorse Mining Initiative (WMI).

Industry and government officials met in October 1992, to initiate detailed planning for the WMI. Out of this meeting a Planning Committee was appointed. In November, of the same year, the Planning Committee proposed that a broader group of interested parties be convened. At a multi-stakeholder consultation, held 10-12 February 1993, the WMI's objectives were confirmed and clarified, issues were identified and suggestions were made about the process and mechanism. Funding was to be provided by the Provincial and Federal governments, and the Mining Association of Canada.

The WMI was spearheaded by a Leadership Council, composed of government ministers, senior executives and officials from each of the sectors. The Leadership Council is coordinated and supported by a Working Group, also composed of representatives from each of the participating sectors, although at the senior working level. Four multi-stakeholder issue groups, Land Access, Environment, Workplace, and Finance/taxation were formed to address the four main issue areas identified as being important to the mineral industry. Finally, a secretariat was created to play an overall coordinating and support role for all of these bodies, as ell as being responsible for supporting and coordinating the issue groups and assisting them in the preparation of their final reports.

In addition, a Communications and Implementation Committee was established, meeting for the first time on 13 December 1993. Its membership cut across all three levels, although mainly composed from the Leadership Council. It was charged with managing the process to ensure the Leadership Council reached the Mines Ministers Conference with a document agreed upon by all parties of the Whitehorse Mining Initiative. This turned out to be the Whitehorse Mining Accord, which was presented to the MMC on 13 September 1994, in Victoria, British Columbia.

Sheldon & Davis was a photography studio based in Kingston, Ontario. Henry Sheldon, who has been working earlier as a daguerreotypist, took on Richard Davis as his associate in 1863. After Sheldon's death in 1877, Davis continued using the name until circa 1904.
