David Conde was born in Ontario. He moved to the United Sates in the early 1920s and became an American citizen in 1932. In 1945/1946 Conde worked for the U.S. State Department during the occupation of Japan as the head of the Motion Picture Department of Civil Information and Education Section. In late 1946 to 1947 he covered the Tokyo War Crimes Trials. He was ultimately expelled from Japan by General Douglas MacArthur. In 1964 he returned to Tokyo as a regular correspondent for various periodicals, including the Far Eastern Economic Review and Ta Kung Pao. Several of his full-length books on Japanese, Korean, Chinese and Asian-American political policies have been published in Japanese. Most of his articles have appeared in English-language publications.

Founded in 1973, the Confederation of University Faculty Associations of British Columbia (CUFA-BC) grew out of a Co-ordinating Committee established late in 1971 by its four constituent members - UBC, Simon Fraser University, the University of Victoria and Notre Dame University of Nelson. The organization has sought to promote the quality of education and the interests of member faculties at British Columbia's universities. CUFA provides a forum for exchanging and coordinating information, communicates with governments and other university agencies, and formulates policy to recommend to individual faculty associations. Membership is open to all accredited faculty associations within the province, and the organization is governed by a Council composed of three representatives of each member association.

Congreve was a proprietor.

Charles Joseph "Chuck" Connaghan was born in Arranmore Island County Donegal, Ireland. He joined the British Army and later emigrated to Canada. He obtained his B.A. (1959) and M.A. (1960) in psychology from British Columbia. After working in industrial relations for several years, he became Vice-President of Administrative Services in 1975 and served in this capacity until 1980. Connaghan also participated in the Council for Canadian Unity and the Task Force on Canadian Unity. The Council began in 1964 as a non-profit, non-partisan organization devoted to promoting a better understanding and appreciation of this country amongst all Canadians. The Task Force was established in 1977 and spent almost a year holding meetings across the country to support various groups dedicated to the cause of Canadian unity. Connaghan was made a member of the Order of Canada (C.M.) in 2000 and was a recipient of the Pro Ecclesia et Pontifice from the Vatican in 2001and received the Queen's Jubilee Medal. In addition, he was awarded the Great Trekker Award from the UBC Alma Mater Society in 1995.

The Consolidated Employees Benevolent Society was established in 1921 or 1927 to augment health insurance provided by the Consolidated Mining and Smelting Company of Canada (CM&S, later known as Cominco) in Trail, B.C. The Society administered a co-operative plan, i.e., a plan run by the employees themselves rather than their employers or health service providers. At the time of the Society’s founding, CM&S provided health insurance to cover both occupational and non-occupational sickness. The Society provided sick benefit payments to employees unable to work, whether temporarily or permanently, due to non-occupational sickness or accident—excluding cases in which that sickness or accident was caused by or incidental to a sexually transmitted infection or the consumption of alcohol.

Although the Society’s coverage of different conditions varied over the decades, workers applied and received benefits for the following types of claims: infectious diseases (e.g., cold, influenza, hepatitis, mumps, pneumonia, scarlet fever), illnesses and conditions (e.g., appendicitis, back pain, bronchitis, cardiovascular disease, gastrointestinal conditions, hernias, jaundice, vertigo), injuries (e.g., amputations, broken bones, strains, wounds), medical procedures and post-op recovery time (e.g., amputations, appendectomy, dental procedures, hernia repair, spinal surgery), chronic physical conditions (e.g., arthritis, asthma, diabetes, eczema, epilepsy, lead poisoning), and mental conditions and illnesses (e.g., alcoholism, anxiety, depression, schizophrenia), among others. To receive benefits from the Society, the claimant had to follow appropriate Society by-laws, including: requesting membership in the Society and paying monthly dues; properly engaging in communications with both Society Directors and doctors via the appropriate forms and according to a prescribed timeline; being fully unable to work for a minimum period of time due to a covered non-occupational sickness or accident; and not being entitled to any time loss compensation from other people, corporations, or government agencies.

The Society was formed and initially run by the Consolidated Workmen’s Co-operative Committee, which acted as a bargaining agent for CM&S smelter workers between 1920 and 1944. The Committee was terminated as workers’ official bargaining representative in 1944, replaced by Mine Mill Local 480. Since the Committee had been run as part of CM&S, administration of the Society likely fell to another department within CM&S. However, based on its name change in 1972 to USWA (Cominco Council) Disability Income Society, administration of the Society at some point was likely transferred to Mine Mill Local 480, also known as United Steelworkers Local 480. Due to the growing number of vehicular accidents in which workers were not covered by insurance, Society funds were increasingly depleted. Perhaps due to the state of its funds by 1974, the Society disbanded in 1975 and officially dissolved in 1978.

Formed in 1939, the Consolidated Red Cedar and Shingle Association of British Columbia (CRCSA) main objectives included gathering and providing information relating to the red cedar shingle industry, the supervision and establishment of grading rules, promotion and marketing of red cedar shingles, the promotion of favourable government legislation, the promotion of the safety of membership’s employees, and the conducting of education classes.
The structure of the association was divided into executive officers including the President, Vice President and Secretary-Manager, who were appointed by the Association’s Board of Directors. The Board of Directors also appointed standing committees including Finance, Legislative, Trade Promotion, Labour Relations, and Log Export and Scaling Committee. The structure of the association changed very little throughout notwithstanding some changes in the CRCSA’s bylaws during the period 1936 to 1962. In 1966 the CRCSA amalgamated with the Council of Forest Industries of which it had been a member since 1960.
