Our Community. Our Stories. Our Impact. 12 Months at a Glance 2021/22

OUR COMMUNITY. OUR STORIES. OUR IMPACT.

Our mission, to challenge and enable students to reach their individual potential in mind, body and spirit, comes with a commitment to uphold our community values and to ensure that the academic and social needs of our students are paramount.

Our 2021/22 Impact Report provides an opportunity for us to share the remarkable support of hundreds of individuals and the many successes of our students. With deep gratitude, we celebrate the generosity of our entire community and those who contribute in countless ways to ensure our students enjoy so many opportunities at The Grove.

A Message from the Head of School and Foundation

As I remarked to our Grads during my 2022 Closing speech: “there is a lot of love at Lakefield College School.” I am exceedingly grateful for our caring community and the generosity that abounds within the hearts of alumni, parents, alumni families, board members and trustees, and our staff and faculty.

2021/22 has been a year to celebrate the strength of our students and solidarity of our entire community. Lakefield is a school that leads with empathy and believes in the power of joy—two incredibly important values that have enabled us to sustain meaningful relationships across our community and inspire deep contentment in our students.

If the last few years have taught us anything, it’s the importance of connections. As a community, we are drawn together by our attachment to this special school and to one another. As some like to call it, the “magic” of Lakefield. When I think about what animates our school—the talent and energy of over 400 students, the commitment and passion of over 160 staff and faculty, and hundreds of dedicated volunteers—I am reminded that so much is possible thanks to the support of countless individuals.

LCS students continue to learn, thrive, and enjoy a rich diversity of experiences thanks to generous contributions from donors and volunteers. Your support has enabled progress on a number of strategic projects over the last year, including reaching fundraising goals for new fitness and wellbeing facilities, opening our new double residence Ross House and Parent House (October 1, 2022), and further developing our 160-acre Northcote Campus, central to our focus on sustainability, into a flourishing space for experiential, outdoor programming.

Most important, we take great pride in seeing our students for who they are and who they have the potential to become while at Lakefield. As a school that embraces inclusivity, we continue to make strides toward expanded tuition assistance to enable a growing number of students from diverse backgrounds to experience LCS on an up to fully funded basis. It gives me great hope, for our future, to know this vision is supported by many committed individuals in our community who share in the belief of a more accessible Lakefield.

Many of the accomplishments that you will read about in this report are made possible thanks to those who champion our vision to inspire teenagers to be leaders who care, connect, and contribute, and in turn, empower us to make Lakefield as strong as it can be, today and for generations to come.

Thank you for being with us,

Anne-Marie Kee P ’17, ’19 Head of School and Foundation

Reflections from the LCS Foundation Board Chair

As a proud alumnus from the class of 1985, I consider myself very fortunate to be part of a community where philanthropy has become a cornerstone of our culture. Thinking back on the four years I spent at The Grove as a boarder, it is no surprise that I continue to give back to the school that had such a transformative impact on my life.

Over the past two decades, I have been involved in governance at Lakefield in various capacities. Most recently, I had the honour of taking on the role of Foundation Board Chair beginning in October 2021— a time of excitement, optimism, but also lingering uncertainty around the pandemic.

As the past year continued to test our ability to innovate and exercise resilience, I can confidently say that Lakefield has emerged from challenging times with a renewed sense of commitment to who we are as a relationship-driven, outdoor school where we lead by our values. The unwavering support of our community, the determination shown by LCS faculty and staff, and the perseverance of our students, gives me great confidence in the future of Lakefield.

My experience in governance at Lakefield has spanned long enough to see some considerable evolutions to the LCS Foundation

and in 2021, we acknowledged a significant milestone—marking 15 years since the inception of the Foundation Trustee role and the adoption of our innovative Foundation model.

Since being established in 2006, the Foundation model—quite unique to Lakefield—has proven to be an incredible triumph, catalyzing several key philanthropic initiatives; some of which include: launching the Hepburn Alumni Challenge, an initiative that continues to harness the collective power of alumni giving while laying the foundation for a bursary supporting alumni children that is currently valued at over $3M, fully funding a vision for the THRIVE health and wellbeing program that directly impacts students and staff by putting wellbeing at the heart of learning and school life, providing tuition assistance disbursements up to $2.4M; enabling 30% of students to gain access to a Lakefield education each year, and effectively tripling our endowment.

We are in a position to continue to make amazing things happen at The Grove and with the support of so many, we look forward to what the next 15 years will bring.

On behalf of the LCS Foundation Board and Trustees, I express my deep gratitude to each and every one of you.

Greetings from the Fundraising Committee

It was a great privilege for me to attend Lakefield in the 1970’s, as it was for many alumni. Similarly, it’s an equally noble privilege to be asked to support Lakefield as well as help the school achieve such ambitious goals for the future. Those who give back to The Grove share in this privilege and I am grateful to every one of you, especially when we reflect on what we have accomplished together.

I’m deeply committed to advancing the future of tuition assistance at Lakefield and my role as Chair of the Fundraising Committee is a testament to my belief that with privilege, comes responsibility. At Lakefield, we are in a position to change the lives of young people in an impactful and meaningful way that extends well beyond their time at The Grove.

As the need for tuition assistance becomes more acute, it’s increasingly important that we broaden the reach of our school. The Grove—and everything extraordinary about this place—must be shared with as many young people as possible, regardless of their socioeconomic circumstances. I believe that having a cross-section of students on campus makes us who we are and gives our students the true benefit of a Lakefield experience.

Over the last year, much work has been done toward strengthening our commitment to inclusivity through growing our tuition assistance resources. Your support thus far has profoundly impacted the lives of students who are here with us today and gives incredible hope to the bright young people who dream of coming to The Grove. By believing in the power of student bursaries, you are helping us achieve our goal. However, our work is not yet done. The school has bold aspirations to continue to grow our tuition assistance program; expanding access to even more promising students. I urge you to contact a member of the Foundation Team to learn more about the program and how you can make a difference.

On behalf of the Fundraising Committee, I share thanks to all of our generous supporters.

A New Vision to Make Lakefield More Accessible to Promising Young People

Lakefield is enriched immeasurably by a diverse student body. We are grateful to the members of our community who share this philosophy and whose significant contributions have helped galvanize support to advance our vision for expanded tuition assistance at Lakefield.

For generations, Lakefield students have benefited from robust bursary support. Just like alumni that came before them, today’s students have the opportunity to experience an education like no other at The Grove—encouraged by their teachers and mentors, inspired to cultivate their passions, and challenged to reach their individual potential in mind, body, and spirit.

While we are proud of our longstanding commitment to tuition assistance, we know that so much more can be done to support young people from diverse cultural and socio-economic backgrounds, for some of whom, Lakefield would never be on their radar.

“Coming to LCS has changed not only the way I learn, but how I see the world and how I want to live my life. I’ve changed so much in the past three years and LCS has become a second home to me. I’m so grateful for everything that Lakefield has provided me and the opportunities I’ve been given to grow alongside friends from all over the world.

GRADE 11 BURSARY RECIPIENT

Tuition and Affordability Summit attendees participate in breakout sessions, discussing the future of tuition assistance at Lakefield.

As a school that celebrates inclusivity and aspires to provide transformative opportunities for students from all walks of life, we must continue to look beyond the financial capacity of one’s family and place even greater emphasis on the promise and potential that a student brings to our community. With the right resources, we have an opportunity to welcome even more exceptional students, representative of all backgrounds, to Lakefield— ultimately enriching the learning experience of our student body and broadening our understanding of, and appreciation for, a wide range of perspectives and cultures on campus.

As we strive to make Lakefield more accessible to every talented student who dreams of pursuing an education here, we remain firmly committed to the principles of diversity, equity, and inclusion.

We know that our community is strengthened by diverse perspectives and we believe young people learn and mature best when they are encouraged to embrace their individuality within a richly diverse and supportive community. Guided by this belief, we seek to increase our tuition assistance resources— including growing a sustainable fundraising model and establishing partnerships with community organizations who embrace our vision—to enable a growing number of students to attend LCS on an up to fully funded basis.

Tuition and Affordability

Summit

In conjunction with our semi-annual LCS Trustees’ Day last spring, we invited members of our community to take part in the Tuition and Affordability Summit—an opportunity to learn and engage in meaningful conversations about the future of tuition assistance at Lakefield. In addition to LCS Trustees and Board Directors, over 40 special guests joined, including Hepburn Alumni Challenge Class Captains, former Head Students, Task Force members, and community partners. David Sword ’88 (Tuition and Affordability Task Force Chair), Warren Jones ’88, and Cam Crawford ’02, shared powerful messages with attendees, reminding us all about

When I completed my (then) five years of secondary school learning at Lakefield, I may have been the only Grove student whose parents could never have afforded the tuition. Even the cost of textbooks and required school uniforms was a financial burden for them. The bursary I received while at Lakefield provided me the opportunity to learn from some of the best classroom teachers I have ever known, and created a foundation for successes that I feel have repaid the investment made in my future by LCS.

MAURICE SWITZER ’63

“

A group of trustees and special guests, led by Katie Pezoulas and David Sword ’88, engage in conversation on the topic of funding and sustainability at Tuition and Affordability Summit.

My choice to support Lakefield financially is an absolute privilege. I was simply blessed with the opportunity to attend this remarkable school. My time at The Grove remains a core pillar in my development towards my best self. It is an amazing joy to now pay it forward. As beneficiaries of the Lakefield experience, I believe it is profoundly necessary that we aim high to provide deserving youth with access to this transformative community. In not continuing to place importance on our financial assistance we lose what makes LCS deeply unique. What is a place without its people? It is our magic and our heart. We must always forge a path for those with less privilege and keep pushing ourselves to enable greater access to this school. There is tremendous growth, excitement, and untapped potential that awaits us as we venture forward.

“

the transformative impact of tuition assistance. Perhaps the most valuable aspect of the Summit was feedback gathered from breakout groups. The ideas generated during small group discussions will help prepare us for success as we pursue opportunities to increase funding, develop meaningful partnerships, and bolster community support.

We give thanks to everyone who engaged in thoughtful conversations and lent their voices— your influence and insights around this important initiative, and the future of tuition assistance at LCS, are invaluable.

Bringing our vision to reality

We commend the individuals in our community whose support has been instrumental in positioning us for success in the coming year; sharing their expertise and counsel as part of the Tuition and Affordability Task Force as well as those who have committed $947 thousand in combined financial support for this initiative. Additionally, a $1 million commitment has been made from an anonymous donor, to endow a fund that will enable one day student to receive full funding in perpetuity.

Collectively, generous leadership gifts have enabled us to fully launch our expanded vision for tuition assistance, including nurturing invaluable local community partnerships, building internal program infrastructure, and welcoming the first cohort of four fully funded students on campus in September 2022.

We express appreciation to the following individuals who generously contributed to seed funding support:

Roy Hewson ’79

David Sword ’88 and Lise Anne Gougeon

Zack Kembar ’87 and Meric Koksal P ’24

Warren Jones ’88

An inclusive culture is one that embraces and celebrates our differences—differences in experiences, backgrounds and ways of thinking. Lakefield College School puts these words into action when it comes to the vision to expand tuition assistance. Those who’ve been fortunate enough to attend The Grove know very well the magic it creates and future opportunities it generates. Through these unique programs, students from each end of the financial spectrum can learn from each other things that are unteachable in a classroom. We grow as individuals and as a society when we understand, relate and appreciate each others unique challenges. Supporting the vision to expand tuition assistance will create opportunities for Lakefield students that will impact generations to come.

Fostering Closer Relationships with Indigenous Communities

Since being established three years ago, the impact of the Indigenous Leadership Bursary is proving transformative for students, their families, and our entire community.

The Indigenous Leadership Bursary was born of the sharing of traditional culture with members of the LCS community and the understanding that a personal experience with traditional Indigenous knowledge is foundational for Canadian leaders.

This understanding, strengthened by our commitment to creating a more inclusive campus, led to the vision of ensuring Indigenous perspectives and world views are present within the Lakefield experience by offering support for Indigenous students of Canada to attend LCS.

We are profoundly grateful for a small group of individuals whose generous support helped establish this important bursary, and share deep thanks to those in our community whose gifts continue to sustain funding. Four students are currently attending LCS as recipients of the Indigenous Leadership Bursary. Beyond providing financial support to promising young people, the Indigenous Leadership Bursary has enabled LCS to build more

meaningful connections and explore opportunities to grow our cultural competencies and appreciation for diverse communities.

Awareness of this initiative has encouraged opportunities to craft genuine learning experiences for Lakefield students and our community at large, including visits to Curve Lake First Nation to learn about Anishinaabe culture and food production.

LCS also co-hosted a panel in partnership with CAIS Boarding Schools focused on strengthening relationships with Indigenous communities. Along with Canadian independent schools and panellists (and LCS alum), Duncan McCue ’88, Maurice Switzer ’63, and Alethea Arnaquq-Baril ’97, LCS helped facilitate a national conversation to explore relationships with Indigenous communities. Together, we connected on issues and listened to stories about our community’s experiences with Canadian Indigenous populations. LCS parent, Jeremy Hansen P ’23, ’24, ’24 also joined the conversation and spoke to the importance of the LCS Indigenous Leadership Bursary,

Maurice Switzer ’63 delivered the keynote address at the Celebration of the Class of 2020. Julia Ruiz Rovelo ’20, Madia McGowan ’20, and Santiago Paz ’20 assist Maurice as he shares the significance of the Wampum Belt with our community.

Hepburn Alumni Challenge Bursary Continues to Change Lives

In 2014, when John ’68 and Jane Hepburn first challenged our alumni community to come together and support Lakefield by giving back though the Hepburn Alumni Challenge, who could have known just how successful and inspiring their vision was going to be?

The Hepburn Alumni Challenge Bursary was created by alumni, with the goal to help make LCS more financially accessible to alumni families. Thanks to the dedicated efforts of volunteers and the generous contributions of so many, the Hepburn Alumni Challenge has evolved into an incredible story of commitment and compassion, proving the collective strength of LCS alumni.

During year five of the campaign, a record-setting alumni participation rate of 40% was achieved— the highest rate of alumni participation of any independent school in Canada.

Eight years later, the Hepburn Alumni Challenge Bursary is currently valued at over $3 million and has supported a total of 18 deserving students from alumni families to date—a testament to the enduring commitment of thousands of alumni to ensuring The Grove continues to be accessible for generations to come.

The Lakefield College School community is only getting stronger and more diverse. It feels like seconds ago it was my first day here. Time has gone by so quickly so I’ve made as many memories as possible. I am proud of who I have become so far, but I still have a lot to learn to reach my full potential. I’m ready and excited for what’s to come. I thank you for your contributions to my education at Lakefield. I would not have experienced such important and life-changing experiences without your generosity.

GEO: A Once-in-a-Lifetime Adventure

Expeditions have been a longstanding part of the outdoor education program at LCS, empowering students to venture through some of the most rugged and pristine parts of Canada and the world.

This year we were excited to resume offering meaningful adventure programs that have long shaped the experiences of LCS students. In addition to Irving and Ondaatje expeditions, Guest Expedition Ontario (GEO) provides an experiential learning opportunity and the chance for students to explore the wonders and challenges of our natural environment.

GEO was created in honour of Terry Guest (Headmaster of LCS from 1971 to 1985) in the year of his 80th birthday and in conjunction with Lakefield

College School’s 140th anniversary. This biennial Ontario-focussed expedition is available for students from Grade 9 and 10, with a passion and willingness to take on an adventurous outdoor experience.

In late June, a group of eight students, along with leaders Andrew Johnston ’95 and Toby GullickScott, participated in the inaugural Guest Expedition Ontario—a seven-day sea kayaking trip in Georgian Bay. Students kayaked between Killarney and the French River, travelling through the Harvey First Nations Territory. Some highlights of the trip

GEO students and leaders, along with Terry and Sue Guest P ’85, ’89, GP ’21, who congratulated the homeward-bound group on a successful expedition.

included rock island lunches, refreshing swims in the cool crystal blue waters, and beautiful granite campsites where many stories and laughs were shared. Beyond the incredible wildlife sightings and stunning scenery, students paddled endless kilometers, portaged, and cooked together, all while strengthening their ability to work confidently as a team, and develop leadership skills.

When GEO was first imagined, the vision was to provide an optimum expedition experience that would ignite the imagination of students and help them to discover what they were truly capable of. It’s safe to say this mission was accomplished—staff and students are looking forward to future GEO trips.

As one student remarked, “today was the final full day of our trip and although we are sad our adventure is coming to an end, we are really thinking of all the memories we made and new things we tried along the way as well as how thankful we are to have this trip.”

We are grateful to the many individuals and families like Terry and Sue Guest, the Irving Family, and the Ondaatje Family, who support Lakefield College School's commitment to outdoor education. Your generosity continues to inspire a lifelong love of adventure and the outdoors in our students.

Relive the experience through photos and our students’ reflections at www.lcs.on.ca/geo-expedition

“When you leave the teaching game, you miss the kids. And so it was a genuine pleasure for us to go to Hartley Bay to meet the intrepid kayakers who had paddled from Killarney on the first GEO trip. All the trippers, kids, and leaders alike, were full of their adventures, spilling over details of what they’d seen, eaten and felt. They were also genuinely eager to share and all expressed a keen desire to go on to their next outdoor challenges. In other words, they were being the best ambassadors for a large part of the ethos of The Grove: experiential education and learning by doing. And more than that, they will influence others at the school by passing on their stories of this expedition. We were proud of them!

The Erin Thomson Memorial Bursary

The Erin Thomson ’98 Memorial Bursary was established by LCS friends to honour the spirit and geniality of their beloved classmate who passed away in June 2022.

In remembrance of Erin and in celebration of the Class of 1998’s 25th anniversary, the Erin Thomson Memorial Bursary will allow future deserving students to benefit from the Lakefield College School experience that played such a prominent role in Erin’s life. With generous contributions from classmates, friends, and families, the bursary has reached over $20,000 to date. The Grove community recognizes the compassionate leadership of Amanda (Soder) Ethier ’98 and fellow LCS alum from the Class of 1998 who continue to inspire contributions in support of Erin’s bursary. In doing so, we collectively cherish the legacy of Erin, who lived her life to the fullest and was dedicated to making the world a better place through her strong belief in the power of community and friendship.

It isn't the facts and figures, logic and reasoning that I learned in school that has made my Lakefield what it has become. It was the people I have encountered and friends I have made that have given me the foundation to face the future.

Arsenault Windsurfing Hut Dedication

The waterfront and the activities that happen there are part of the heart and soul of the Lakefield College School campus—they always have been and always will be.

In the fall of 2018, we recognized the generosity of the Dalglish Family Foundation for their extraordinary gift which helped enable LCS to transform one of the most loved spaces on campus— our waterfront. To mark the Dalglish Family’s incredible generosity, the iconic boat house was named in their honour.

But gratitude goes both ways. Fast forward to Saturday, May 28, 2022, at the LCS waterfront, where Geordie Dalglish ’89 P ’25 along with his family dedicated the windsurfing hut in honour of Mike Arsenault P ’00, ’03, ’04. After 40 years inspiring and teaching young people in the classroom and at the waterfront, Mike retired from LCS in 2022. Following a heartfelt presentation, attended by Mike’s family, LCS alumni and many members of the LCS community, the “Arsenault Windsurfing Hut” was officially named.

We are immensely grateful for the continued support of the Dalglish Family—because of their thoughtfulness, Mike’s love for the LCS waterfront will forever be commemorated on campus. The Arsenault Windsurfing Hut will remain a special place of recognition; for the impact Mike had on countless students during his time at LCS, including those who continue to be inspired by his deep affection for the waterfront and all the joy that can be found here.

The Windsurfing Hut

Dedicated to Mike Arsenault for his incredible contribution to Lakefield College School Teacher. Mentor. Friend. On and off the water. 1982 — 2022

Thank you [Mr. Arsenault] for introducing me, my dad, and many of my friends to the Lakefield waterfront. I will be forever grateful for your enthusiasm and love of the lake. Because of everything you have done for the school and the people here, we would like to thank you by dedicating the windsurfing hut to you.

Investing in the Health and Wellbeing of Every Student

Our school’s motto says it all: “A sound mind in a sound body.” Over the years, a focus of our programming has been aimed at incorporating optimal health and wellbeing into every aspect of school life, and life beyond Lakefield.

In 2015, THRIVE was launched from a mission: “to help all members of our community – students and staff – develop the habits and practices needed for good mental health, and to develop the infrastructure (within the school’s physical plant and human resources) needed to foster those habits and practices.”

Several factors have contributed to the success of THRIVE, including an inspired gift from the Bouchard Family in 2017—truly an investment in the wellness of our entire community. The Bouchard Family’s gift has

put Lakefield at the forefront of health and wellbeing among independent schools in Canada, shaping our philosophy around wellness, enabling our faculty to develop transformative programming, and impacting hundreds of students every year.

Community giving moves us forward: new fitness and wellbeing facilities

The new fitness and wellbeing facilities will bring extraordinary value to our community across myriad fronts, benefitting all students with enhanced spaces designed to align with the goals of THRIVE— strengthening our programs while embracing the growing needs of our teenagers.

The addition of modern, state-of -the-art facilities to our campus will enable programming that fosters wellbeing, resilience, and healthy habits in our teenagers while providing expansion and access to the equipment, spaces, and opportunities that foster transformative and inclusive experiences.

Like many families, I believe in the importance of giving back to the communities that we are part of. It’s my pleasure to support the fitness and wellbeing facilities knowing that it will have a positive impact on the wellbeing of so many young people.

KIKI SHI P ’24

Advancing the health and wellbeing of every LCS student remains our priority. New fitness and wellbeing facilities will expand our programming, equipment, and spaces with the goal to foster transformative and inclusive student experiences, enabling all students to embody their best selves.

We are grateful to the following individuals for their support at the leadership level: Peter and Lynn Grosskopf P ’22, Jean-Guy Desjardins and Sandra Delisle P ’23, ’24, ’25, Murray Sinclair ’79 P ’11, Tom ’78 and Susan Stevenson, and Kiki Shi P ’24. Additionally, contributions from alumni and families have been critical to driving momentum on this project. We look forward to continued support from our community in bringing the new facilities to life and empowering our young people to discover their own unique pathway to health and wellbeing.

Our goal is to provide every student with the opportunity to contribute to our one-acre vegetable farm at Northcote

they engage in hands-on learning, tending to crops and harvesting fresh produce. 50% of our seasonal harvest is enjoyed in the Dining

the other 50% is donated to local organizations.

The Future of Sustainability at Lakefield and Northcote Campus

LCS has been developing a vision for our 315 acre campuses that will offer transformative experiences for students while supporting broader aspirations focused on sustainability and innovation.

Northcote Campus is a gift that every LCS student experiences. The perfect location for community events, such as Winter Carnival, it’s also a place where students come together as a class, a House, and a community to develop an appreciation for the beauty and bounty that our natural landscape offers. Ultimately, Northcote inspires us all to be better and do more for our environment.

Generously donated to LCS in 2007 by Donald ’48 and Gretchen Ross P ’79, ’80 GP ’17, Northcote provides our students with authentic learning experiences grounded in our commitment to sustainability under the Outdoors Every Day strategic pillar. Inspired by the passion and generosity of Paul Desmarais Jr. ’73, P ’00, ’03, ’03, ’11 and a key group of enthusiastic supporters, our two-acre rotating, regenerative learning farm at Northcote is becoming a nexus of opportunity for our students. They are growing their confidence and finding fulfillment through direct experiences on the land planting, growing and harvesting vegetables and healing the soil.

Through unique curricular and cocurricular programs

at the farm, our students are learning to be stewards in their own right, caring for and connecting with the environment in ways that encourage an appreciation for giving back to both our community and our planet. For example, Lakefield’s From Seed to Table: Adventures in Eco-Farming summer course sees cohorts of students learning about food production and eco-farming through hands-on experiences on the farm. Students also attend culinary classes and learn from and connect with community food banks, Farmers, Chefs and neighboring First Nations communities to acquire first hand knowledge of local food initiatives that can inspire future opportunities for innovation on the farm.

We share thanks with the leaders in our community who, through their generous gifts, make it possible for our students to experience the power of connecting with nature, with one another, and with our broader community. Your support will continue to propel our vision for Northcote forward, leveraging the strength and beauty of our northern campus and enabling an even wider range of authentic (and fun) programming for our students.

Inspiring Student Leaders and Future Philanthropists

One of eight values at Lakefield College School is Service. We believe that leaders serve others and we have a responsibility to our local, national, and global communities. It is no wonder our culture of giving back is an integral part of Lakefield— a philosophy we see reflected in the altruistic pursuits of our students.

We believe that our teenagers should be actively involved in, and concerned with, life in the school itself and in the community at large. LCS students are encouraged to spearhead charitable initiatives and participate in a variety of service projects

throughout their time at The Grove. Inspired by their passions and driven to affect change, students are empowered to strengthen their leadership skills, and embrace their responsibility to one another, while contributing to causes greater than themselves.

300+ meals were prepared by our culinary arts and Seed to Table: Adventures in Eco-Farming students for the Lakefield Community Food Bank

As part of the Seeds for Bees initiative, students hand-packaged 1,500 pollinator seeds and delivered them to local neighbourhoods where pollinator-friendly plants can grow and thrive.

This THRIVE-sponsored initiative continues to be an important LCS event, getting students outdoors, connecting with friends, and supporting the future of youth mental health on a national scale.

With enthusiastic support from students, our LCS community raised $2,084 for the Terry Fox Foundation exceeding the amount of funds raised from all past years on record!

40 Grade 10 students participated in the Lakefield Santa Claus Parade, singing, dancing, playing instruments, all while spreading joy and sharing positive energy with the community.

Students led creative fundraising initiatives (including a fire truck pull, coffee house, and polar bear dip) totalling $4,840 in support of Movember a global organization that helps raise awareness and funds for men’s mental health, suicide prevention, prostate cancer, and testicular cancer.

Here are some of the ways LCS students made a meaningful impact by engaging in volunteerism and giving back in 2021/22:

Grads Give Back: Class of 2022—Joy Fund

The Grad Class Gift is a celebrated Grove tradition, an opportunity for soon-to-bealumni to mobilize support among their classmates and raise funds for a project or cause that will benefit future students.

School spirit—a key characteristic that defines the graduating class of 2022. Even when pandemic protocols challenged our Grads to find new ways to connect and re-think how they would organize school events, they never lost their sense of LCS pride. They always showed up in red and green (or Paper House colours), always ready to make the most of every event, every experience.

It was no surprise when our Grads decided to leave their legacy by creating the Class of 2022—Joy Fund. They had two goals in mind: every grad was

encouraged to donate $20.22 and these funds would be used to support experiences that inspire joy and promote school spirit for next year’s students.

A special thank you to David Crispo ’22 and Sarah Jiang ’22, Co-Head students for their dedication to this important initiative and to the many Grads and their families who showed their support by making a gift. Congratulations, Grad Class of 2022 for inspiring so many through your kindness. We know future students will be grateful for your generosity.

As part of Lakefield’s Earth Day celebration, students packaged 1,500 seeds for the Seeds for Bees project. Over 4,000 of these packages were delivered to new residential developments in the local area.

Photo boards and memorabilia from the LCS archives displayed around campus show memories from past years; 1989 marks one of the most significant changes in Lakefield’s history—opening the school to girls. History students examine artifacts from the archives.

LCS Archives: Bringing the History of The Grove to Life

LCS Archives are a gateway to our past—providing tangible artifacts and firsthand accounts from Grove alumni and friends across the ages, in times of war and peace. They shine a light on people, places and stories that have the power to bring history to life for our current students.

Our archives provide students with a rich resource of learning materials that trace a line of connection to The Grove over 143 years old. This year, we have seen key developments that will enhance the learning experience even further. Thanks to a generous philanthropic gift (from a community member who wishes to remain anonymous), we’ve been able to purchase an updated digital database, with more advanced features for capturing and researching historic materials.

We are excited about the advancements we’ve made to reach our goal of providing our students with even better access to The Grove’s deep history. Countless experiential learning opportunities are presented when students engage first-hand with documents and artifacts from the periods they are studying.

For example, using materials from the archives, our Grade 10 history students are able to explore primary sources and materials to develop their research, inquiry, and analytical skills, not to mention the added growth in understanding they experience as they connect with the personal stories of LCS students from a bygone era.

However we choose to remember our past, we know that philanthropy plays an important role in bringing the history of Lakefield College School to life. We are grateful for the insight and generosity of individuals in our community who support this initiative—

providing unique and valuable opportunities for our history students and those with an interest in exploring our school’s past.

If you have Grove artifacts that you feel are of value to the archives, or would like to learn more about how a financial gift can enhance our programming, please contact Wendy Darby at wdarby@lcs.on.ca to learn more.

“

Philanthropy plays an important role in connecting today’s students with our history. “

For a school with a history as rich as Lakefield’s, there is a responsibility to have it collected, preserved, and celebrated for the benefit of past, present, and future generations of the school’s community. In our ever changing world, it’s by looking to our past that we can often find the answers and the inspiration to face our futures. It is our duty to carefully preserve this past for the generations to come who will uncover yet unknown curiosity and connections to their own Lakefield College School stories.

Celebrating Lakefield connections and representation across the globe

As a school that is represented by 45 countries, it is important that we nurture a strong sense of belonging among our students while sustaining meaningful relationships with our alumni and families from near and far. Our desire to connect globally is fuelled by our shared experience as members of The Grove community, and transcends geographical boundaries and time zones. This year, we saw many opportunities to engage our international community and celebrate our global connections.

Hong Kong Alumni Social

CHEERS! It was wonderful to see alumni gathering in Hong Kong for the first time in over three years. Alumni socials are always a wonderful opportunity to connect, catch up, and rekindle The Grove spirit among friends. We share special thanks to Phil Bian ’12 who spearheaded and hosted the Hong Kong gathering. Phil reflected on seeing fellow alumni, “it was an exciting evening, full of laughter, fun facts,

and sharings about the LCS experience that each of us has had. LCS has always been a unique place to a lot of us, and we certainly hope to visit back in the next Home to The Grove event.”

Strengthening Our Ties with Spain

Introduced to us by alumnus, King Felipe VI of Spain, Class of 1985, LCS had the pleasure of

welcoming His Excellency Alfredo Martínez Serrano, Ambassador of Spain to Canada to campus on two occasions this year.

In January, 2022, His Excellency’s visit included opportunities to learn more about our school and programming from Head of School and Foundation Anne-Marie Kee, LCS Board Chair Hugh Macdonnell ’85 P ’18, and faculty members. Students led H.E. on a tour of our classroom block to see everything from science to art classes in action and ventured outdoors to see our natural campus and hear about our sustainability and farming initiatives.

In May of 2022, LCS accepted the offer to host the world film premiere of ‘Goya 3 de mayo’ by Spanish Filmmaker, Carlos Saura. The short film uniquely retold the story of the world-famous painting, ‘May 3 in Madrid,’ by renowned Spanish painter, Francisco de Goya, and offered a rich cultural and historical perspective of the country that many alumni and students call home.

We were delighted to welcome H.E. to campus for our school’s first-ever film premiere! Nearly 100 members of our community gathered in The Bryan

Staff and students alike look forward to maintaining a strong relationship with H.E. and await further opportunities to collaborate with the Spanish Embassy for culturally significant initiatives.

Alumni from around the globe reunite for Closing celebrations

Last summer we gathered together to welcome the Classes of 2020 and 2021 back to campus for their own unique, in-person celebration experiences; a chance to reunite and reminisce together and with faculty about some of their best times at Lakefield. After a memorable ceremony under the tent, alumni “got their Grove on” and enjoyed a range of Lakefield traditions. We were thrilled to see close to 70% of alumni from the Classes of 2020 and 2021 return to The Grove, including alumni who made the trip from the United States, Germany, Spain, Mexico, Jamaica, Barbados, and Korea.

LCS joins in the spirit of the Lunar New Year

In celebration of the Year of The Tiger, students, staff, and parent volunteers worked hard to organize the Chinese Food and Culture Festival in February—an event that is held annually at Lakefield to showcase the culture, history, and traditions of countries where some of our students call home. Lunar New Year observes the beginning of a new year on the Chinese calendar and marks one of the most important events among many Asian communities.

The festivities began with an Asian-themed dinner, complete with delicious cuisine and traditional beverages. Our campus came alive with celebration as students enjoyed playing games with their House families, watching a spectacular fireworks display, and participating in a dumpling making workshop. Over the years, the Chinese Food and Culture Festival has grown into a highly anticipated spirit event, inclusive of all students. This event reminds us of the many opportunities we have at LCS to share and learn from each other, about our different perspectives and important cultural traditions.

We are grateful for the continued support of families at LCS who share their time and knowledge with our students while also contributing generous funds to support the festival year after year.

Lunar New Year is the event I look forward to the most every year. There are many parents, teachers, and students who are helping out and everyone is so enthusiastic to celebrate the food and culture. This gives me a strong sense of festivity and makes me feel like I am home.

Giving the Gift of a Lifetime

If you believe in making a long term difference, not only for the students of today but for tomorrow’s generations as well, there is no better way than by creating a future gift through your Will or estate.

Marilynn Booth P ’98

Marilyn Booth P ’98 has a long history with Lakefield College School, beginning in the mid-1990s when her daughter was an Assistant Head of House and her son a student. Education is in her soul.

“I have never stopped learning and I want that for my grandchildren.

I have worn many hats at LCS—a parent, the first female chair of the board, a School and Foundation trustee, and most recently, with pride, I accepted the award of Honorary Alumna.

I embrace the values of education embodied by Lakefield—they have been steady throughout my three decades of involvement—true to their mission, vision, and values. I have been touched by so many students that have been empowered to reach their own potential in mind, body and spirit. I am very proud to be aligned with Lakefield.

I am honoured to share that I have made a legacy gift to Lakefield—because I want to pay it forward for others—the more of us that contribute, the stronger our community will be.

I know that there are many who think a private school education is only for the elite and privileged. The Booth family has proven that wrong. For me, it’s not about affording how much I can give, but rather

Marilynn Booth P ’98 with her children, Kristen Robinson (LCS Assistant Head of House 1995-96), Rob Booth ’98, and Dr. Kylie Booth; Chris Little ’02 with wife Katherine and sons Elliott and Maxwell; Liz Robert-Young P ’10 with son Campell ’10

planning for planned giving. I believe that we can all contribute—we can, and in so doing, we open doors for others.

I have been inspired by the mission, vision, and values of LCS. I feel blessed to have been a part of this amazing community and see how Lakefield is a role model for the world. If we had more schools like Lakefield, the world would be a better place.”

“Each of us can do our part, big or small. It is all about paying it forward and giving opportunities for the next generation.”

Chris Little ’02

Four generations of Littles have attended LCS; so when Chris ’02 and Katherine chose to designate a future estate gift to The Grove, it aligned perfectly with their values. As a family who has been connected with the school for 100+, years it also reflected the main tenet of their charitable giving, which is to foster positive change.

“Katherine and I had been working with our wealth management team, particularly in regard to estate planning, and the topic of philanthropy through the lens of a legacy perspective came up. This idea really resonated with both of us and we tasked ourselves with creating a list of charitable organisations that have had a major and positive impact on our lives, and charitable organisations that we thought would make a significant impact on other people’s lives going forward. LCS made it to the top of our list as it has undoubtedly had a significant and positive impact on my life and my extended family who experienced the school.

We believe that giving back to the places that have helped shape our lives is a very rewarding experience. Perhaps that means volunteering, joining a board, giving a financial gift, or just being a good ambassador. In any case, from our experience, giving back to the places that have helped shape our lives is extremely meaningful.”

“Scholarships, in particular, create opportunities for a much more vibrant tapestry of students to attend LCS. Making sure that students who will thrive in the LCS environment have access to the school, is absolutely crucial to the ethos of Lakefield.”

Liz Robert-Young P ’10

From the day that Campbell Bryk ’10 joined the Lakefield College School community in September 2008, it was apparent that he had made a very, very good choice.

In fact, Campbell’s mother Liz, seeing the enrichment Campbell received throughout his time at the school, asked him at graduation if it had been worth the distance living? Campbell’s response was that Lakefield had provided him with the confidence and skills that he needed to be successful. Skills that would give him space to not only dream… but to achieve those dreams as well.

Fast forward: Campbell is actively pursuing and achieving his goals and dreams. He is a successful entrepreneur and has recently become one of the youngest fire Captains in British Columbia.

For Liz, choosing to make a legacy gift that would benefit the future of Lakefield College School was easy. Not only was she able to demonstrate her gratitude for the education that her son experienced but it also aligns perfectly with her family’s values.

“Community service has long since been a foundation of our family code. Always has been and always will be. Lakefield aligns with our philanthropic priorities as it sets a community foundation, shaping and guiding the next community leaders and carrying the generosity of Lakefield with them around the globe.”

Liz believes that gifts like hers will hopefully extend the LCS opportunity to those for whom the excellence of an LCS education is beyond reach.

“Lakefield nurtures leaders. It is a student-based fellowship that promotes not the education of one but rather the enrichment of all that are reached by the foundation of learning at the school.”

“Invest in tomorrow. Lakefield’s current students are your leaders of tomorrow.”

Community Connections: Thank You for Sharing, Engaging, and Wholeheartedly Embracing All That is Lakefield

We remain focussed on strengthening relationships and cultivating new connections within our Grove network. Looking back on the many events and engagement opportunities over the past year, we are reminded of the power of community and the invaluable contributions from volunteers, donors, and advocates that help sustain us as a school.

We are grateful for our LCS Families

Year after year, dedicated parent volunteers go above and beyond, re-envisioning ways to make Lakefield more fun, more festive, and more fantastic for our students. We share deep thanks with countless members of our parent community who invest their time and generosity to help ensure so many events and initiatives are possible including: Lunar New Year, Career Day, Replay Store, staff appreciation, holiday decorating, as well as collaborative and thoughtful contributions to task forces and focus groups. Thank you for keeping us connected. Thank you for spreading your boundless energy and love for LCS. We are endlessly appreciative of the diverse roles that parents and alumni families continue to play in strengthening our school.

Philanthropy is Thriving at The Grove

It was our pleasure to welcome alumni, parents, and friends to join Anne-Marie Kee, Head of School and Foundation and members of the Foundation team, to celebrate the impact of philanthropy at LCS. On November 6, 2021 members of our community gathered over a delicious brunch and shared touching testimonials as to why giving back to The Grove matters. Together, as a community, it is important to recognize the role that philanthropy plays in the achievements and prosperity of our school and to celebrate the collective generosity of individuals whose gifts—of all sizes—help ensure our students enjoy so many opportunities at The Grove.

Celebrating Alumni at our Biggest Reunion in LCS History

It has been nothing short of remarkable to feel The Grove alive with the excitement and energy of our alumni. In May, we safely opened the Red Door to hundreds of alumni for our first reunion event in almost two years, gathering to commemorate the milestone reunions for classes ending in ‘0, ‘1, ‘2, ‘5, ‘6, and ‘7.

The enthusiasm and camaraderie on campus was palpable as over 700 community members (including alumni spanning eight decades) and their families joined in festivities. It was an unforgettable weekend filled with opportunities for alumni to reconnect with classmates, catch up with their favourite faculty, revisit memorable parts of campus, and create new experiences. A highlight of the weekend saw alumni, along with students, faculty,

and staff, taking part in a special Honour Guard procession to the waterfront for opening remarks— complete with a flotilla of canoes (very Lakefield!). Among receptions and class dinners for alumni, it was especially wonderful to see the return of 20 “Old Boys”, who reunited for a special 50th reunion chapel service and celebration—a remarkable occasion commemorating their time at The Grove.

The success of this monumental event was in large part due to LCS alumni who dedicated themselves to rallying and connecting classmates, self-organizing events, and rousing the unmistakable sense of Grove pride in friends from near and far. We are grateful to the 40 alumni who participated in group sessions, sharing their input and feedback essential to planning, and to the dedicated volunteers who helped make our 2022 Home to The Grove Reunion one of the biggest alumni events in Lakefield’s history. Your support works to strengthen ties to The Grove and to one another—thank you. We can’t wait to see alumni again for our 2023 Reunion.

Alumni from the Classes ’95, ’96, and ’97 reunite at Home to The Grove Reunion

“When David Hadden asked me what I wanted named after us, I immediately thought of a scholarship. Our time at Lakefield was, needless to say, a lifestyle not a job. When our kids went there I really understood how great the school was. That is why we contribute to the scholarship fund so other “good kids” can get the Lakefield experience.

Why do I give? — So that my daughter Grace can enjoy the same or even better quality experience as the one that changed the course of my life so profoundly for the better. And to help ensure affordability so that future classmates bring to the table a wide variety of perspectives and aspirations. And to empower the faculty and staff (past, present and future) whose exceptional capabilities and exemplary character in my view are THE difference makers, and to whom I will always be deeply grateful.

WARREN JONES

’88

“

Warren Jones ’88, a long-time School Trustee, with daughter Grace (age 10) attending LCS camp this past summer.

LCS was a wonderful life experience for my son. I watched him grow, mature, and shine within the LCS community to become his best self. As a family, it feels great to continue to be involved supporting LCS however we can, to not only maintain close connection, but give back in a way that helps LCS to continue to touch other families in the same way.

I am inspired to give back to LCS because I see the wonderful opportunities that are offered at our school. Every little bit of funding helps to deliver outstanding programming for our students and provide the best academic experience possible; also equipping faculty like myself with resources to teach in ways that are the most experiential and meaningful for the students.

JODI PROULX ELL Teacher, French Teacher, Academic Coach

“

Jodi Proulx (seated right) with husband Paul, son Jake, daughter Tori, and dogs, Molly and Lexie.

”I’m 21 years old and I donate monthly to The Grove because a strong financial assistance program matters to me. I interned with the Foundation team from LCS and I was in awe of the philanthropy that was rooted in the community. I wanted to be a part of the generosity. My individual contributions aren’t extravagant – perhaps equivalent to Mr. Runza’s annual barbershop expenses – but I know I’m part of a wider network of alumni who, collectively, continue to move the needle. Knowing that there is power in numbers is how I find meaning in my giving.
