U of Toronto, more specifically its Zoology department.

Run their computer facilities, and help departmental users of those

Only insofar as it aids the above, which means pretty rarely.

Let's see, grateful users bought me dinner once. :-) More seriously,
some of the early work on C News was "official" because B News was killing
our machines and we needed something better. Now that it is running
satisfactorily here, it's rare for C News work to be job-related in any
way that would justify spending much time on it.

Difficult to say. Probably several hours a week.

Not really necessary, the answers will be pretty similar.
