He was the first lay President and Vice-Chancellor of the University of St. Michael's College, a college at the University of Toronto.

He was a gold medalist in philosophy at St. Michael's College and has two graduate degrees in Modern History from the University of Toronto. He was a broadcast commentator on Canada's largest radio station, CFRB, for ten years between 1976 and 1986, and acted as publisher of The Catholic Register, Canada's largest Catholic newspaper for two years at the request of Cardinal Emmett Carter, following the sudden death of Father Sean O'Sullivan. Alway was founding Chairman of the Cathedral Council of St. Michael's Cathedral and has taken a leading role in various initiatives to promote further understanding and cooperation between the Roman Catholic and Anglican Churches in Canada. At the request of the Anglican and Roman Catholic Archbishops of Toronto he organized and chaired a symposium on inter-Church relations that was attended by over 300 priests from the two church communities. As well as being President of the Pontifical Institute of Mediaeval Studies at the University of Toronto, he recently served in the additional capacity of Ministry Supervisor of the Toronto Catholic District School Board (2009–11). He is currently Chairman of the C.D. Howe Memorial Foundation. An active collector of Canadian art he has donated works from his collection to a number of Ontario Galleries.

In 1986 he was appointed by Order in Council as Acting Director of the National Gallery of Canada on leave from the University of Toronto. He remained in this position during the construction phase of the new gallery building in Ottawa.

A member of the Board of Trustees of the National Museums of Canada from 1979 to 1986, he was Chairman of the National Gallery of Canada, of the National Programmes Committee of the National Museums, and at one point Acting Chairman of the National Museum of Natural Sciences, as well as a member of the Board of the National Postal Museum and the Canadian Opera Company. In 1989, he was made a Member of the Order of Canada and was promoted to Officer in 1998. He was awarded the Order of Ontario in 2001. He was appointed Knight of Magistral Grace of the Sovereign Military Order of Malta, Knight of the Order of the Holy Sepulchre, and Knight Grand Cross with Star of the Order of St. Gregory the Great by Pope John Paul II, the highest Church recognition for a layman.
