College and University Retiree Associations of Canada / Associations de retraités des universités et collèges du Canada (CURAC/ARUCC) is a not-for-profit federation of retiree organizations at colleges and universities across Canada.

The feasibility of organizing a national association of academic retirees’ associations in Canada was first explored at a meeting held during what were then called the “Learneds” at the University of Calgary in 1994. A task force was established which contacted the presidents of universities and colleges across Canada, asking them to distribute a questionnaire to any known retirees’ groups. The response was apparently encouraging. Although no formal organization was subsequently established, a small secretariat located at the University of Regina was set up to channel information of interest to Canadian retirees’ associations to the CAUT, which offered to publish such information in its Bulletin and which also established a web site for the new “virtual organization” CAERA (Canadian Association of Emeriti and Retired Academics).

A reorganization and revitalization of the national body was initiated at a conference held at the University of Toronto on 31 May 2002. The initial meeting of the steering committee was held 1 Jun. 2002, where preparations to establish an official body began. The Constitution and a motion to incorporate were passed at the Halifax Conference in 2003. CURAC was officially incorporated on 9 Feb. 2006

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.
