Friends of Frontenac Park is an incorporated, non-profit, charitable organization constituted outside park management, established in 1998. Activities of Friends are coordinated independently by a volunteer board of directors, elected annually, which meets as necessary and works closely with active members and park staff. Because the Friends initiatives are organized on a project-by-project basis, activities undertaken by the group are as diverse as membership interests in any given year.

Friends of Frontenac Park is part of a growing network of independent cooperating associations which believe strongly in wise use and management of Ontario's provincial parks. Cooperating associations provide opportunities for young and old alike to participate in planning, education and interpretation activities organized in cooperation with Ontario Parks staff. Friends organizations allow visitors to take the extra step in "give back" the park in time, effort, sharing and concern.

The mission of Friends of Frontenac Park is to undertake activities to enhance appreciation of the ecosystem of Frontenac Provincial Park. This means cooperating with Ontario Parks to suggest and implement park policies. It also means working to create programs and materials to promote public awareness, education, and understanding of the park's natural and cultural heritage.
Frontenac Provincial Park protects a portion of the rugged Frontenac Axis, a finger of the ancient Canadian Shield that reaches down through eastern Ontario into New York State. It is a place of blue lakes, rocky shores and endless opportunities for hiking, canoeing, skiing and exploring the natural world. Like all park land, however, Frontenac's 70 square kilometres need to be managed carefully. Working cooperatively with Ontario Parks, it is the goal of the Friends to undertake activities to enhance public awareness, appreciation and sensitive management of the ecosystem of Frontenac Park.

Lieutenant-Colonel John By (7 August 1779 – 1 February 1836) was an English military engineer, best remembered for supervising the construction of the Rideau Canal and founding Bytown in the process, which would become the Canadian capital, Ottawa.

By was born in Lambeth, Surrey, the second of three sons of George By, of the London Customs House, and Mary Bryan. By studied at the Royal Military Academy. He entered Officer Training in the army when he was 18 years old. He was commissioned in the Royal Artillery on 1 August 1799 but transferred to the Royal Engineers on 20 December the same year. During the Napoleonic wars he returned to Europe, where he served in Spain under the Duke of Wellington from 1811 until 1815.

By was married three times, first to Elizabeth Baines in 1801, who died in 1814. He remarried in 1818 to Esther March with whom he had two daughters: Harriet Martha By (1822–1842) and Esther By Ashburnham (1820–1848).

With the end of the war, By retired from the military, but in 1826 in view of his engineering experience in Canada, he was recalled and returned to Canada to supervise the construction of the Rideau Canal.

The canal was completed in six years, and was acclaimed as an engineering triumph. He died in 1836, and is buried in the village of Frant in Sussex.

In addition, the University Registrar often included statistics on student attendance for the academic year. The last stand-alone issue of the Principal’s Report was for 1977-1978.
