Bindon returned to Montreal in 1978 to teach history at Concordia University, where she was promoted to the rank of Associate Professor in 1983.
In 1991, Bindon accepted the position of Principal of Sir Wilfred Grenfell College in Corner Brook, the West Coast campus of Memorial University of Newfoundland.
Between 1997 and 2004 she oversaw significant growth in the institution, including obtaining recognition from the Association of Universities and Colleges of Canada (AUCC) and the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council (NSERC).
Relations between the Ministry and OUC grew even more strained resulting in a government decision to dismiss the new Board in 2004 and replace it with a public administrator.
Around 2012 she became program director of the Takatuf Scholars Programme, a Corporate Social Responsibility initiative of Oman Oil Company that invested in outstanding Omani youth, from preparation for higher education through completion of a four-year bachelor's degree in international placements.
