Andrew Glen came to Canada from Glasgow in 1912 and began to study socialism. When the First World War broke out Glen was a conscientious objector. He gave up his job when the firm that employed him began making shells. Glen then turned to working as a hired man on a farm. Later he returned to the factory and was exempted from military service. Glen joined the Theosophical Society in 1918 and was made secretary of the Society's Social Reconstruction Group. At the same time he joined the Independent Labor Party of Toronto becoming President in 1921. In 1932 he began to write articles for the Toronto Star and did propaganda work for a new social order. He was an unsuccessful CCF candidate in 1935. By the late 1930's he was disgruntled with the CCF and became a follower of Oswald Mosley and the Nazi Party. He spoke against the Second World War and his papers were seized by the R.C.M.P.

The Glenburnie Residents' Association (GRA) was formed in 1985, in response to the Township of Kingston's plan to built a garbage dump in the Glenburnie area. By early 1986, and following numerous public meetings of concerned residents, an executive (Chair, Vice-Chair, Secretary, Treasurer) was elected, a constitution adopted, and the GRA was established.
In addition to a Chair, Vice-Chair, Secretary, and Treasurer, the volunteer executive of the GRA includes eight (8) area representatives, plus Chairs of a number of working committees. It is estimated over eighty (80) local residents have held executive positions. The GRA reports to local residents through periodic newsletters, and at the Annual General Meeting. The Executive met as issues arose. A special working group of the Executive met regularly to draft submissions and responses to the City/Township Steering Committee, or other forums, prepared agendas for its own meetings, and generally looked after the day to day work of the GRA. When major presentations were made, as to Draft Stage 2, the Diversions Reports, or the Compensation Policy, members of the Executive were assisted by members at large, who undertook to research and draft part, or all, of the responses.
The GRA began to make formal presentations to Kingston Township Council concerning what was then the "Waste Management Study", at the end of December 1985. Since that time, the original "Study Plan" became the "Waste Management Master Plan", and the City of Kingston joined tha process. The purpose of the GRA remained fundamentally the same. For the next eight or nine years, representatives attended meetings of the KingstonTownship Council, at which garbage issues were discussed, and since 1987, they attended and spoke at every Waste Managemnt Master Plan Steering Committeee meeting. In addition to monitoring developments, the GRA also raised questions and concerns about both the planning process and the actual proposals on how to manage waste.
In 1988, it responded in detail to the Draft Stage 2 Report, and over the years made reprsentations to the Ministry of Environment, the Ministry of Municipal Affairs, and the Steering Committee on Waste Management, and to planning generally on the need for a real diversion program on the question of siting and sizing of a landfill site and other issues of concern to community residents and to residents in the Kimngston area as a whole.
The GRA represents all residents in the Glenburnie community. Based on the distribution of letters, it was estimated that there were over 650 households in aera. Most of these have donated funds to the GRA over time; many of them regularly attended the Annual General Meeting, and also came out to public meetings hosted by the GRA, consultants, or the City/Township of Kingston.
Members of the Executive and community donated hundreds of hours to perparing submissions, attending meetings, and generally representing the interests of the Glenburnie community. Many also made siginificant financial contributions and/or provided their own personal resources (computer time, paper, telephone calls, car mileage) to the work of the GRA. The only public funding received was assistance from Kingston Township to hire a hydrogeologist, and to consult a solicitor concerning the Compensation Policy. All other requirements, with respect to time, supplies, energy, and money were met by the organization's budget, or personal and financial contributions from interested and concerned residents.

The Globe and Mail is a Canadian newspaper printed in five cities in western and central Canada. On 23 November 1936, The Globe merged with The Mail and Empire, itself formed through the 1895 merger of two conservative newspapers, The Toronto Mail and Toronto Empire. The merger was arranged by George McCullagh, who fronted for mining magnate William Henry Wright and became the first publisher of The Globe and Mail. McCullagh committed suicide in 1952, and the newspaper was sold to the Webster family of Montreal. As the paper lost ground to The Toronto Star in the local Toronto market, it began to expand its national circulation.
