During this time, he also served as General Counsel to the Bank of Nova Scotia and as Associate General Counsel for Ontario to the Canadian Bankers Association. In 1957, he was awarded an honorary LL.D. from Queen's University. From the early 1950s to the late 1970s, Carson was a director with several Canadian companies, including the Canadian Pacific Railway Company, Hiram Walker-Gooderham and Worts Limited, Canada Permanent Trust Company, Falconbridge Nickel Mines Limited, and Manufacturers Life Insurance Company.
