The Alumni has produced a number of publications over the years to inform graduates about events of interest to them, and births, marriages and deaths of former classmates, other graduates, and people with connections to the University. These titles include Tidings and predecessor newsletters, and, since 2006, e-mailed newsletters. The Alumni Association maintained a website, www.ukcalumni.com, from the early 2000s as a way to provide information to alumni, but it has since become defunct. Current information can be found here: https://ukings.ca/alumni/
