Alice Caroline Coates Cassidy was born in Tokyo, Japan in 1906. She lived in Tokyo until 1913 when the family moved to Vancouver. She took her first year at the University of British Columbia in 1925-1926, and then took a teacher training course at the Provincial Normal School in 1926-1927. Returning to the University of British Columbia from 1927-1930, she studied under Dr. Sedgewick, Frederick Wood, Philip Child and Thorlief (Tuli) Larsen. She was Secretary of the Letters Club when Roy Daniells was president. Graduating with an Arts 30 degree, she married a fellow student, Eugene Haanel Cassidy, on 24 May 1930. Shortly afterwards, they left Canada for Japan where they lived in various locations from 1930-1938. With the advent of war, the family returned to Canada after a six month stay in Honolulu.
During the years in Toronto, 1938-1945, Carol Cassidy began to use her maiden name, and thereafter signed herself Carol Coates. In 1945, she arrived in New York, and lived above the Rudolf Steiner School on 79th Street. She traveled to England in 1947 to study High School teaching methods at the Steiner School housed in Michael Hall, Kidbrooke Park, Forest Row, Sussex. Having completed a teacher training course, she taught at the Steiner School in Edinburgh from 1949-1950. After 1951, Carol Coates remained in England until her death in 1994.
Carol Coates' poetry is deeply influenced by Japanese Hokku. She wrote many short pieces, some comprising just one or two lines, aimed at crystallizing a scene or atmosphere. The earliest extant copy of her poetry is dated 1929. On her return to Canada another small publishing venture resulted in The Return and Selected Poems, which was printed in Toronto in 1941. The most commercially successful collection of her poetry was Invitation to Mood issued by The Ryerson Press in 1949. Single poems were printed in various anthologies in the 1950s. "First Flight" was included in The Book of Canadian Poetry (1943) and in Creative Living: Five (1954). "Light," "Country Reverie," "Choral Symphony Conductor," and "The Circle" were published in the anthology Canadian Poetry in English (1954). In the 1970s, her poems were published in various poetry magazines and in the anthologies printed by the Camden Poetry Group, of which she was an active member.

The Cataraqui Archaeological Research Foundation (CARF) was incorporated March 28, 1983 to oversee the excavation of Fort Frontenac in Kingston. It was a non-profit organization governed by a volunteer Board of Directors employing appropriate professionals. The Foundation’s mandate, derived from its constitution, was to create, foster, and maintain interest in the recognition, investigation, and preservation of Ontario’s pre-historic and historic archaeological resources. The Foundation was in operation for 30 years and consulted on at least 150 separate archaeological projects. The Foundation produced in excess of 160 consulting and conservation reports, technical papers, and other publications.
The Foundation had two divisions. The Cultural Resource Management division was an archaeological consulting company providing professional archaeological assessment to private property owners and government agencies. These activities were contracted on a fee-for-service basis including archaeological assessments, planning, and research under contractual arrangements with property owners, corporations, municipalities, and provincial and federal governments. It excavated, analyzed, and interpreted material from sites on behalf of the owners of those sites. The second division was the Kingston Archaeological Centre. The Centre was established in 1986, with assistance from a Government of Ontario grant, with the purpose of providing the community with a facility from which activities relating to the education, research, conservation, and management of the area’s archaeological resources could be coordinated. The Foundation catalogued, preserved, stored, and provided curatorial services for artifact collections held in trust for the people of Ontario and disseminated factual information about archaeology in Canada with special emphasis on Ontario and its municipalities.

Established at the beginning of the nineteenth century as a village burial ground, the Charter of the Cataraqui Cemetery Company was handed down on August 10, 1850, by the Legislative Assembly of the Province of Canada. The cemetery was developed in a rural garden theme, after the pattern of Mount Auburn in Boston and Mount Hope in Rochester, New York. With winding roadways through rolling terrain, ponds and watercourses throughout the 100 acres of ground, it is truly a beautiful resting place. The earliest list of lot holders is a veritable Who's Who of Kingston and includes Sir John Alexander Macdonald, the Father of Confederation, Thomas Kirkpatrick, First Mayor of the Town of Kingston, John Counter, First Mayor of the City of Kingston, and Sir Alexander Campbell, a Father of Confederation and a former Lieutenant Governor of Ontario.
