Editing Rector (academia) (section)

===Canada===
As in most Commonwealth and British-influenced countries, the term "rector" is not commonly used in English in Canada outside Quebec.

Quebec's francophone universities (e.g., {{Lang|fr|[[Université de Montréal]]}})  use the term (''recteur'' or ''rectrice'' in French) to designate the head of the institution.  In addition, the historically French-Catholic, and now bilingual, [[Saint Paul University]] in [[Ottawa]], Ontario uses the term to denote its head.  St. Paul's College, the Roman Catholic College of the University of Manitoba, uses the term 'rector' to designate the head of the college.  St. Boniface College, the French College of the University of Manitoba, uses 'recteur' or 'rectrice' to designate the head of the college.

At the bilingual [[University of Ottawa]], the term president has been used since 2008, but before that time rector was used for the English name; however, ''recteur'' (or ''rectrice'') continues to be used as the French term for the head of the university.

[[Queen's University at Kingston|Queen's University]] ([[Kingston, Ontario]]) uses the term "rector".  The term refers to a member of the student body elected to work as an equal with the [[chancellor (education)|chancellor]] and [[Principal (university)|principal]]. The Badge of Office of the Rector of Queen's University was registered with the [[Canadian Heraldic Authority]] on 15 October 2004.<ref>http://archive.gg.ca/heraldry/pub-reg/project.asp?lang=e&ProjectID=511 Badge of Office</ref> See [[List of Rectors of Queen's University]].
