Headmaster’s Headlines
Greetings from Ridley! Welcome to the Spring/Summer 2025 edition of the Tiger. As we bring another school year to a close, I reflect on the quiet, steady work that has taken place across our campus — work that, like the best gardens, often begins unseen. The theme of this issue is cultivating community, and I think it beautifully captures the spirit of what we do at Ridley: tending to the roots of connection, nurturing growth and celebrating the vibrant bloom of a thriving school.
Community doesn’t happen by accident. It’s something that requires attention and daily care. We do this with every shared meal in the Great Hall, every cheer from the sidelines, every late-night rehearsal and every quiet moment of mentorship between teacher and student. These are the seeds of belonging that have taken deep root this year.
Within these pages, you will experience the true cultivation of positive and thriving communities through various aspects: sport, theatre and the arts, alumni connections and even on social media. We also feature some truly momentous milestones, both for the Great Hall and the Ridley College Archives. This year, the Great Hall celebrated its 75th anniversary, while the archives celebrated its 30th.
I invite you to read the truly inspiring perspectives of our students and faculty on how they cultivate a positive and supportive community, both through the arts and in athletics. Learn how our students support each other, connect and develop lifelong bonds by working together for a common goal.
This issue also highlights the work and achievements of some truly inspiring alumni dedicated to positive change and cultivating a strong Ridley community, all over the world and online.
Finally, this issue also profiles our 21st Chair of the Board of Governors, Suzanne Court ’86, who discusses her views on the Ridley community and her goals for her term as Chair of the Board of Governors.
Each year, we theme our school year with a single word. Our word this year was "hope," and I’ve seen hope in action with my own eyes every day. I’ve seen our students step into leadership roles with confidence and compassion, our faculty guide with wisdom and heart and our families show up time and again to support and celebrate. Like any good gardener, we’ve weathered storms together and rejoiced in the sunshine. And through it all, we’ve grown stronger, more resilient and more connected through hope.
As we head into the summer months, I encourage each of you to pause and appreciate the garden we’ve grown together. Let us carry forward the lessons of patience, care and collaboration — knowing that the most beautiful communities, like the most beautiful gardens, are cultivated with love.
Thank you for being part of this extraordinary community. I wish you a restful and joyful summer, and I look forward to all that we will continue to grow together in the seasons ahead.
Terar Dum Prosim,
J. Edward Kidd Headmaster

boarding houses, facilities and academic spaces. However, these projects are about more than infrastructure; they are about creating environments where students feel supported, inspired and connected to a community that values excellence and innovation.
Equally important is her dedication to strengthening Ridley’s governance. She is committed to ensuring the Board reflects a diversity of skills, perspectives and passions — building a leadership team that works together toward a shared vision. She also aims to increase visibility and engagement, encouraging Board members to become active participants in the community.
“Many don’t realize what the Board does,” Suzanne notes. “We’re working to change that by being more present and connected, to demonstrate that our role is rooted in support, advocacy and a shared belief in the power of education to transform lives.”
Ultimately, Suzanne leads with a conviction that education is a catalyst for positive change and that community support, driven by purpose, creates a ripple effect of lasting impact.
To her, Ridley is more than a school; it’s a lifelong network of mentorship, support and shared purpose, built on the principles of giving and higher aspirations.
“You get out what you put in,” she affirms. “And by supporting what we believe in and fostering a circle of giving, we are shaping a future where every student can thrive. That’s the highest purpose of community engagement.”
As Ridley looks to the future, it does so with a Chair who leads not only with strategy, but with purpose, heart and community, balancing thoughtful vision with heartfelt passion.
“My goal is to foster an environment where innovation thrives, support runs deep and every member feels a true sense of belonging.”
Suzanne believes that together, we pursue purposeful growth that honours our tradition. And, at the same time, we embrace a forward-looking future to create a place where young minds are inspired, community is strengthened and our highest aspirations are achieved.
CULTIVATING Community
CELEBRATING 75 YEARS OF THE GREAT HALL
By Kelly Neill
and Ben Hughes
On May 14th, 2025, we celebrated the 75th anniversary of the Great Hall with a family-style lunch. Faculty, staff and students all joined in celebrating an amazing milestone in the history of our School.
On June 9th, 1950, a beautiful spring day in St. Catharines, the Ridley College Cadet Corps was gathered at the train station, waiting patiently for its guest of honour. As the train pulled into the station, the Cadets formed up for inspection. Their inspecting officer on that day was Field Marshal, the Viscount Alexander of Tunis, Governor General of Canada. The military pageantry was well rehearsed and, according to Mr. Kim Beattie in Ridley: The Story of a School, everything went smoothly; the Field Marshal was highly complimentary of our Cadets.
The Governor General honoured the Ridley community that day for a special ceremony — the grand opening of the Memorial Hall (the Great Hall) and the Schmon Memorial Hospital (now known as the Schmon Health and Wellness Centre).
Following the end of the Second World War, Ridley was once again faced with the indelible loss of young Ridleians who had lost their lives in the service of Canada. Over 80 young men from our School had made the sacrifice. Without hesitation, members of our community came together to plan a memorial, just as they had with the Memorial Chapel following the First World War.
The Memorial Hall project began in December 1945, with a meeting of Old Boys setting an initial financial target of $250,000. It would include a large dining room, the Great Hall, science classrooms on the lower level, a large clock and carillon tower and a memorial cloister outside engraved with the names of the fallen.
After the Board of Governors passed a motion that month, the fundraising campaign was underway, with community members swiftly stepping up to donate to the cause.

Ultimately, the funding target was increased to $350,000, and thanks to a donation from the Schmon family in memory of Richard R. Schmon ’39, a second memorial was added to the project — the Schmon Memorial Hospital.
Architects Ferdie Marani ’12 and Robert Morris were approached to lead the project, and construction began in 1948 by Newman Brothers of St. Catharines. All the hardware was fitted and provided by Coy Brothers Hardware store; both families have a long-standing relationship with the School.
After five years of fundraising, planning, design and construction, the new additions to campus were ready for the Governor General to cut the ribbon at the grand opening on that beautiful spring day.
The grand opening ceremony was truly Ridley’s event of the decade. The Governor General and his wife, Lady Alexander, officiated at the ceremonies. With much pomp and military pageantry, Ridley demonstrated its love for and dedication to those who served and died. As part of the event, Their Excellencies also opened and inspected the Schmon Memorial Hospital, which has also served our School for 75 years.
The Schmon Memorial Hospital, now known as the Health and Wellness Centre, is named in honour of Richard R. "Dick" Schmon ’39, who lost his life near Metz, France, in 1944 while serving with the 313th Field Battery of the Third U.S. Army. While a student at Ridley, Dick was a leading boy from 1930–1939. He blazed a trail both academically and athletically that would eventually lead to his equally outstanding career at Princeton University. In the years that followed, the Schmon family was eager to honour the memory of their gallant son, and the gift of the Schmon Memorial Hospital became a reality on June 9th, 1950, the same day as the Great Hall.
Today, the Great Hall conjures visions of Harry Potter’s Hogwarts or Christ Church College in Oxford to visitors or new students. The soaring height of the ceilings and stately portraits of past Headmasters and Chairs of the Board of Governors are a grand reminder of how Ridley honours the past and those who have come before. It’s a place where students come together not just to eat, but also to socialize, build friendships and cultivate our community.
Over the years, numerous physical changes and adaptations have been made to the Great Hall to improve the constant demands of serving thousands of meals each year. Gone are the days when each meal was preceded by our Latin grace, and formal sit-down meals with seating plans were served by dedicated staff. Today’s faster-paced existence presents cafeteria and self-serve stations that offer food for a plethora of dietary options, and an ever-changing menu highlights cooking styles and delicacies from around the world. When dining in the Great Hall, students and staff alike also share a conscientious effort to healthy eating and mindful reduction of food waste.
While many places on campus evoke recollections for students, alumni and staff, the Great Hall not only acts as a space where we meet to share meals, but also where fond memories continue to be made. There’s a long history of random bun tossing, or even an unwelcome food fight. When pranks were in fashion, students ransacked the kitchen for cutlery and plates, leaving everyone without them the following day. Even more confounding was the time when the Great Hall served as a parking spot for former faculty member Kerry Martin’s famous Austin Mini, which was carried in by several students with a Herculean effort.
The Great Hall has been transformed countless times for School dances, an indoor field hockey pitch and has even hosted a romantic proposal from the balcony. It has served as our community’s place for numerous formal dinners for Cadets, Governors, Homecoming, graduations, wassails, weddings and funerals.
On May 14th, 2025, the Great Hall was filled with balloons, streamers, party hats and a large cake — everything one needs for a perfect birthday celebration. Students, faculty and staff gathered to celebrate the milestone and enjoy a delicious yet classic lunch. The menu was traditional fare inspired by popular dishes from the 1950s, including French onion soup, traditional meatloaf and Reuben sandwiches.
“We really wanted to honour the 75th anniversary with meals that were popular from the 50s,” says Ridley’s Executive Chef, Sidney Krick. “Meatloaf with natural gravy, scalloped potatoes and Reubens were all huge back then — we wanted to keep it as traditional as we could.”
The Great Hall is aptly named, as it is a truly great aspect to the history of our School and a fitting memorial to the young Ridleains who made the ultimate sacrifice during the Second World War. We will be forever grateful to them, as well as the alumni and donors who recognized their sacrifice in a living memorial and in a space where we gather each day and give thanks for food, friendship and family.
More than a Game: CULTIVATING A COMMUNITY THROUGH SPORT
From the earliest days of Ridley, athletics and sport have been crucial to the culture and community of our School. It is said that Ridley’s first Headmaster, Dr. J.O. Miller, was passionate about sports and considered it essential in fostering school spirit. The most popular sports in those early years were football, cricket and hockey, and Ridley quickly developed heated rivalries with Upper Canada College, Trinity College School and later, St. Andrew’s College.
Today, our proud history and the spirit of community and competition are woven into the very fabric of our athletic programmes. Whether it’s hockey or basketball, rowing or squash, Ridley is a place where sports and athletics play a pivotal role in cultivating and fostering a supportive and vibrant community.
Thanks to the opening of the Evans Athletic Centre, Ridley boasts state-of-the-art facilities that allow students to train, practise and compete at the highest possible level.
The new spaces also allow for more team training and practice sessions. They also provide more opportunities for student athletes to engage with each other and cultivate a strong community both within their respective teams and outside of them.
David Zanic, Interim Director of Athletics, emphasizes this point: “Having a fitness centre, yoga studio and spin room all in one place really enhances the experience,” he says. “It allows teams to train together, be together and work with a
fitness coach in one space, which builds chemistry and brings the team closer together.”
The new facilities in the Evans Athletic Centre allow Ridley a unique opportunity to cultivate strong relationships throughout the wider community by hosting rentals, outside events and tournaments. "We've expanded our capacity significantly — hosting events is an important part of our identity," David explains.
This past year, we hosted OFSAA Field Hockey, an NPA Prep Basketball weekend and the CAIS National Basketball Championships — with 24 schools coming to Ridley and utilizing our stunning athletic facilities and gymnasiums. By all accounts, David shares that feedback from visitors for those events has been extremely positive.
Cultivating and building relationships with community partnerships throughout the region continues to be at the forefront, and the new facilities provide endless opportunities. According to David, Ridley regularly hosts CYO basketball games, volleyball and several external hockey rentals.
From the perspective of Jay Tredway ’96, Assistant Head: Co-curricular and Community Connections, the new facilities provide flexibility and put Ridley at the forefront of the community. “The new facilities are multifunctional and expose other organizations and people in the community to what we offer here at Ridley,” he says. “The philosophy is finding reciprocal relationships and creating a strong connection between Ridley and the wider community.”
Looking ahead, Ridley already has hosting duties for two high-profile sporting events. This November, CAIS Senior Girls basketball will be on campus for the championship tournament and in Summer 2026, the School will be co-hosting the World Junior Squash Championships at the new Jack Aylott Squash Centre.
Ridley is a place where sports and athletics play a pivotal role in cultivating and fostering a supportive and vibrant community.
Charity basketball game – Ridley vs. Niagara Regional Police Service
When speaking with Ridley’s Head Squash Pro, Dave Forgeron, he describes the Jack Aylott Squash Centre as a game-changer: “The world is our oyster now,” he says. “We’re at a physical crossroads now, helping to make the sport more visible to students and visitors.”
Ridley's vision for the future of squash is both exciting and groundbreaking, and it’s all because of the new facilities available for the sport. One of the most important aspects of cultivating the squash community is to open Ridley’s doors to the broader community with a unique initiative — the Ridley College Racquets Club.
Designed with both purpose and inclusivity in mind, the club welcomes alumni, local residents and families to become active participants in the Ridley experience. “It’s something quite special,” says Dave. “We’ve created a secure and welcoming environment where community members can train, compete and connect alongside our students.”
With background checks, keycard access in place and flexible membership options, Dave hopes the club will quickly become a hub for intergenerational engagement, fostering new friendships and strengthening ties between Ridley and the wider Niagara region. It’s a model of community integration that reflects Ridley’s values, where sport becomes a bridge, not just between teammates, but between generations and communities.
It's impossible to talk about the development of squash at Ridley without speaking to Caitlin Ng ’25, who provides a firsthand account of how Ridley's athletic programmes have impacted her. "Squash has helped me develop good habits and practice regularly. It's also helped me make connections," she says.
During the 2024/25 school year, Caitlin spearheaded an initiative to organize a Ridley girls' squash event. The goal
of the event was to introduce younger girls to the sport and inspire the next generation of players.
"I definitely want to leave a legacy and encourage more people to play squash and grow the community," Caitlin says. Her journey from a young squash enthusiast to a leader in the sport exemplifies the transformative power of Ridley's athletic programmes.
Ridley’s dedication to cultivating a positive community through sport is based on respect, sportsmanship, teamwork and building a positive culture. According to David Zanic, much of the credit goes to the coaches and the athletes themselves. “Our coaches go above and beyond to support the students, both on and off the field. There’s a sense of love and care that sets the bar high,” he says.
“We encourage students to try new sports and build relationships outside their usual teams,” David adds. “Our high-performance athletes are role models, and we want them to set an example and be leaders in the community.”
Whether it’s a squash match in the Jack Aylott Squash Centre or a championship basketball game in the Fieldhouse, every moment of sport at Ridley is an opportunity to come together. It’s in these shared experiences — between teammates, coaches, families and alumni — that our community finds its strength. As we continue to invest in sport, we are investing in something far greater: a culture of belonging, resilience and shared purpose that defines what it means to be a Tiger.
A post-pandemic renaissance
The return to live performance after COVID-19 has been nothing short of a renaissance.
“We’re back to being able to take risks,” says Gillian Fournier, Head of Department, Visual and Performing Arts. “There was a time when we couldn’t even have students dance with partners. Now, we’re pushing ourselves and our students to explore and experiment again.”
That spirit of experimentation was on full display in this year’s musical, The Addams Family, which played to sold-out audiences and brought together students from across grades and disciplines.
“It was insane,” says Alex Bergshoeff ’26, who played Gomez Addams. “Especially after COVID, when audiences were small. But with Chicago last year and The Addams Family this year, the crowds were huge. It felt amazing.”
Spaces that spark curiosity
The new spaces inside the Iggulden Building have played a pivotal role in making the arts more visible and more accessible.
“We’ve taken the arts out of the basement and put them on display,” says Gillian, referring to the time when music rooms were in the basement of the Second Century Building. “Now, students walk by and see rehearsals, see instruments they’ve never seen before, and they get curious.”
Jay Tredway ’96, Assistant Head: Co-curricular and Community Connections, agrees with that assessment.
“The facilities have allowed us to be creative. We’ve used the same space six different ways this year,” he says. “It’s not just about having a building — it’s about what it enables us to do,” he says.
Beyond the stage: a culture of support
The arts community at Ridley is a tight-knit culture of care where students build strong relationships and truly find themselves.
“I’m not the standard Ridley person,” admits Charlie. “I don’t do sports, I’m not a Prefect. But I have theatre. And I have this group of people I’ve been doing it with for so long. They’re my people.”
That inclusivity extends beyond the spotlight to the orchestra, crew and behind-the-scenes support that goes into each production.
“Even when I wasn’t on stage for Charlie Brown, I was welcomed immediately,” Charlie says. “I did warmups with the cast, went to every rehearsal. I was part of the group.”
Alex echoed that sentiment: “You’re all tired, you’re all in it together. If one person doesn’t know their lines, the whole show is off. So, you support each other. You become a family.”
And Shakeela Vahdat ’25, who played Wednesday Addams in the show, added: “The arts bring people together in a way nothing else does. I’ve made friendships through theatre that I’ll cherish forever.”
Connecting generations
This year, Ridley hosted its first alumni night during the musical — a chance for former students to reconnect with the arts and see how the programme has evolved. The response was overwhelmingly positive.
“We had a whole other generation come out to the show with the alumni night,” says Jay. “It reminded people of what they loved about Ridley and how far we’ve come. The more we can get the community to come out, the more we can foster the growth of our arts offerings.”
Suffice it to say, be on the lookout for future alumni nights to come see a show at Ridley.
Arts in April: a celebration of creativity
One of the other arts highlights of the year is Arts in April, a month-long celebration of student creativity.
“It’s the culmination of everything,” says Jay. “The symphony is primed, the bands are ready and the visual art is on display. It’s the last chance for our seniors to showcase their work before graduation.”
Events like the Conference of Independent Schools Music Festival (CISMF), Ridley Independent Film Festival (RIFF) and the DP Visual Art Exhibition give students a platform to share their work with peers, parents and the broader community.
Gillian adds that Arts in April events are also meant to seamlessly tie into the curriculum of Ridley’s arts students.
It’s in the theatre, the music rooms, the studios and now, in the bright, open spaces of the renovated Iggulden Building,where students are not just creating art — they’re building community.
Whether it's film, design, music or visual arts, Arts in April provides a platform and an opportunity for students to showcase their hard work from throughout the year. “Even in non-performing arts, the role of the audience is still so important,” she says. “It’s about being seen and appreciated.”
Looking outward: community partnerships
Ridley’s arts programme doesn’t stop at the campus gates. Through partnerships with the Shaw Festival, Niagara Jazz Festival and the Foster Festival, students are engaging with professional artists and organizations.
“These groups want young audiences,” explains Jay. “What we offer them is our students — their energy, their curiosity and their potential.”
From masterclasses with jazz musicians to workshops with Shaw Festival actors, students are gaining real-world exposure.
For example, this year, students had the opportunity to have a masterclass session with Canadian international performer Adam James, thanks to Ridley’s partnership with the Niagara Jazz Festival. Adam was able to provide our students instant feedback and watch them perform.
“It’s part of the IB philosophy, too,” says Gillian. “We're leveraging professional expertise to enrich our students’ learning.”
Looking ahead
As Ridley looks to the future, the arts will continue to play a central role in shaping not just well-rounded students, but a vibrant, connected community.
“We’re building a calendar of events that runs year-round,” says Jay. “And we’re inviting everyone — students, parents and alumni to be part of it.”
Next year’s musical? Singin’ in the Rain. And if the past few seasons are any indication, it will be more than a show. It will be a celebration of everything the arts at Ridley stand for: creativity, courage and community.
For Alex, Charlie and Shakeela, it’s clear that the arts at Ridley are the foundation for friendship, growth and belonging — it’s through the arts and theatre that they have cultivated a strong community, one rehearsal at a time.
As they say in The Addams Family: “It’s family first, and family last and family by and by. When you’re an Addams, you do what Addams do or die.”

When Callum Campbell ’18 first picked up a paintbrush at Ridley College, he didn’t imagine it would one day lead him to Los Angeles, California, where he would work alongside world-renowned artists and share his paintings with hundreds of thousands of people online. But that’s precisely where his journey has taken him — thanks to a blend of talent, authenticity and a deep-rooted sense of community.
A proud Ridley alum and now a rising star in hyperrealistic portraiture, Callum has cultivated a global audience through TikTok and social media. His videos are part painting process, part personal reflection, and they have resonated with viewers around the world. Callum has amassed over 180,000 followers on TikTok alone and discovered opportunities that once seemed unimaginable.
“I didn’t start out thinking I’d be a professional artist,” he said. “I actually went to university for architecture, but when that programme was delayed, I took fine arts instead. I fell in love with it almost immediately.”
That pivot proved more fruitful than he could ever imagine. What began as a creative outlet quickly evolved into a calling. By his second year at the University of British Columbia,
Callum was sharing his work online — not to chase virality, but to connect with others who shared his passion.
Callum views his progress as many small steps in succession; it didn’t happen all at once. At that time, after his second year of university, he began selling his paintings for the first time and continued to develop and engage with his audience on TikTok.
That instinct to cultivate a digital community has paid off spectacularly. By the end of his third year, Callum was invited to Los Angeles to work as a painting assistant for a major YouTube creator, ZHC. The experience of living in West Hollywood and collaborating with other artists was transformative.
“It was all because of the community I built online,” he said. “No matter how good my art was, I wouldn’t have had that opportunity without the community of people who supported me.”
Callum’s approach to social media is rooted in honesty and authenticity. He shares not just the finished pieces but also the process — the doubts, the edits and the small wins and losses. From his perspective, it’s all about sharing what you love and your journey, not chasing clicks. For Callum, he credits this transparency as the thing that draws people in and delivers his work directly to their "For You Page."
“People care about the journey. They want to see you grow,” he said. “If you share what you love and people see your passion, they will naturally gravitate to you and your journey.”
Callum’s mindset was shaped in part by his time at Ridley. Our beloved School’s emphasis on excellence and its robust arts programme gave Callum the technical foundation and the work ethic he needed to succeed.
He also credits the community at Ridley for helping push him to succeed. From his perspective, there is an understanding as a Ridley student that excellence is the goal, whatever the field.
"Whether it's rowing, math, science or theatre, people at Ridley are striving for excellence."
“When you’re around people every day who are that dedicated to their goals, it naturally inspires you to find your own niche and strive for your own piece of excellence as well.”
Callum also credits the arts programme at Ridley, where he learned skills like oil painting and built a strong foundation for university. He also developed video production and editing skills in the Upper School, significantly benefiting his workflow today as a TikToker. Ridley also provided Callum with endless role models, both peers and teachers. Among them: his father, Giles Campbell, a design tech teacher at Ridley and an accomplished artist in his own right and his close friends, Dimitri Nitsopoulos ’18 and Alex Schramm ’18, whose academic success in law and medicine, respectively, inspires him to work harder every day.
“My dad is one of the most incredible artists I’ve ever met,” Callum said. “Growing up, we were always sketching, visiting galleries. That had a huge influence on me.”
Callum continues to build his career and body of work, one brushstroke at a time. But for him, art isn’t just about the final image or TikTok post. It’s about connection, community and the shared experience of creation. He views social media as an effective tool that helps the audience understand his process as both an artist and a person.
“I see social media as an extension of my art,” he said. “It’s not something that takes away from it, it adds to it. It’s another way to improve my art, tell the story and get people invested in the journey.”
What began as a simple personal passion project for Callum to do for fun has flourished into a global community. And with every new painting and post on social media, he continues to nurture and cultivate that community every day. Callum’s story is yet another reminder that community isn’t something you find, but something you work to nurture and grow over time. It proves that a strong community can grow anywhere, even online, when you lead with honesty, authenticity and creativity.
Mexico, New York, Italy, Nadine Karachi ’87: Sisterhood Without Borders
Nadine Karachi’s ’87 life spans three countries, but her Ridley roots run deep. “We were the first group of girls allowed in at Grade 10,” she says. “And we are tight. We’re sisters in every way.”
When Nadine moved to Mexico at age 28, she didn’t speak Spanish or know anyone. “But I realized I already had the Ridley community.” She recounts
making a call to the Faes brothers (Dino ’81, Alejandro ’78 and Jose ’76), and despite them being almost a decade older than her, they quickly sparked an enduring friendship based only on their Ridley connection.
“The only thing we had in common was Ridley,” she says. “But that was enough. We knew the Marriott Gates, the Chapel and the Great Hall. That shared experience created an instant bond.”
In the early 2000s, Nadine began organizing reunions with her Ridley classmates. What started as a casual invitation to her New York City apartment has grown into a cherished tradition, with up to four trips a year to places like Acapulco, Italy, San Miguel and more. “We call ourselves ‘Aca Wellness,’” she laughs, an obvious play on words of their favoured destination. “Every gathering has a purpose.
We discuss how to be better humans and support each other’s causes.”
The group’s commitment to each other is unwavering. “When I turned 55, I invited everyone to Mexico City. Twenty of them came, many with their spouses. It was a celebration of life, friendship and the school that brought us together.”
Looking ahead, Nadine and her classmates have even dreamed up a retirement plan. “We joke that once our husbands are gone, we’ll buy a property together and live like we’re back in boarding school — just with better wine and a few nurses,” she laughs. “We call it Boarding School 2.0.”
Her advice to younger alumni is simple but profound: “You don’t realize it now, but Ridley is in your DNA. One day, you’ll call on that community, and someone will always pick up.”
Seoul, South Korea, Ryan Bleich ’01, Minsung Jin ’05 and Richard Na ’99: Building Belonging Abroad
Thousands of kilometres from St. Catharines, a vibrant Ridley community is thriving in Seoul —thanks to the dedication of alumni like Ryan Bleich ’01, Minsung Jin ’05 and Richard Na ’99. Though their journeys began at different times and in different ways, all three are deeply committed to keeping the Ridley spirit alive. When Ryan Bleich ’01 moved to Korea in 2016, he navigated unfamiliar terrain professionally and personally. “It was challenging and, honestly, sometimes isolating,” he recalls. But everything changed when he connected with fellow Old Ridleians. “Their support, friendship, and shared values made Korea feel far less
foreign. It gave me a sense of belonging when I needed it.”
Since then, Ryan has become a driving force behind the Ridley community in Seoul and his new home in Hanoi, Vietnam. What began as casual meetups has grown into structured alumni dinners, networking events and even golf outings that bring together alumni, prospective families and friends of the School. As an education consultant and school agent, Ryan also attends CAIS fairs and helps place new families at Ridley, further strengthening Ridley’s presence in Asia.
Also supporting organizing and cultivating a strong Ridley community in Korea are Richard Na ’99 and Minsung Jin ’05.
From Richard’s perspective, Ridley’s strength has always been its embrace of diversity and unity, making Ridley a place where anyone
exemplified the ‘mosaic’ culture of Canada,” he says. “It respected diversity while emphasizing unity under the Ridley banner.”
He admits that his motivation to stay involved with the Ridley community was inspired by his classmate, Rob Black ’99. Today, he helps host alumni events in Korea, which he describes as “pit stops” in the fast-paced rhythm of city life.
For Minsung, finding ways to support the branch has felt like a natural evolution from his time at Ridley. At the most recent Seoul reception, he graciously hosted the
his office, complete with stunning city views.
It was a special event,” he recalls. “Some Old Ridleians were new to me, while others I hadn’t seen in a long time. What stood out most was Thomas Kim ’08 from Dean’s House, who travelled to Korea to attend.”
Though the Korea branch is still young, all three men believe its potential is limitless. Over the coming year, they hope to host more events, connect with new Ridley parents and families and build strong personal connections with new members.
Hong Kong, Michael Ho ‘91: Keeping the Ridley Spirit Alive
The Hong Kong Branch of the Ridley alumni community is a vibrant example of how tradition and connection transcend borders. Michael Ho ’91, a long-time member and supporter of the branch, reflects on its evolution and enduring purpose.
Muskoka & Palm Beach, C.B. Ross ’83: A Lifelong Bond
For C.B. Ross ’83, Ridley isn’t just a school, it’s a lifelong family. “From the moment you arrive, you hear about the ‘Ridley family,’” he recalls. “At first, it’s just words from the Headmaster or your Housemaster. But over time, you realize it’s real. You’re living with your classmates, growing with them and those bonds become deeper, like brothers and sisters.”
C.B.’s memories of Ridley are filled with camaraderie, mischief and meaningful connection. “Whether it was sports, sneaking out for pizza or just hanging out in the evenings, those shared experiences created a foundation that lasts a lifetime.”
Even decades later, those relationships remain strong. “You can go 20 or 30 years without seeing someone, and when you reconnect, it’s like no time has passed. That’s the power of the Ridley community.”
The branch was founded in the early 1990s by Terry Scandrett ’61, Kelvin Chen ’70, Robert Ho ’82, Simon Chiu ’82 and Jeannie Kwoh. Informal gatherings initially rounded up graduates from the 1970s and 1980s, but has grown into a robust network that includes boat outings, pub nights and the annual Hong Kong Reception. Today, it welcomes both local and international ORs living in the region.
“It’s meaningful to keep the alumni community strong — not just for us, but for future generations,” Michael says.
According to Michael, publications like the Tiger and the Impact Report help alumni in Hong Kong stay informed, while social media keeps the
community connected. The branch has also prioritized networking ORs in the region, whether for business or pleasure.
“Even just showing up at an event is a way to support the school,” he adds.
“It’s a chance to reconnect with old friends and introduce new graduates to the power of the Ridley network.”
Michael credits Ridley’s traditions like the House system, Chapel gatherings and competitive sports for instilling resilience and camaraderie.
“The sense of community at Ridley is deeply rooted in shared experiences and a culture of inclusion,” he says.
“It’s something we carry with us forever.”
In the early days, staying in touch meant reading the Tiger and attending reunions. “You’d come back the year after graduation, then every five years. The Tiger helped us keep up with classmates, and it was always nice to see different people featured.”
Today, social media plays a bigger role. “Our class has a Facebook group, and it’s been a great way to stay in touch. We’ve also used it to share news, both joyful and tragic, and to support each other through life’s ups and downs.”
His advice to younger grads? “Start early. Stay in touch with your classmates and come back to campus as soon as you can. If you make it a habit, it becomes part of your life.”
He also encourages younger alumni to take advantage of the network. “Whether it’s for mentorship, job opportunities or just a warm introduction, the Ridley connection opens doors,” he says. “It’s not a cold call — it’s a warm call.”
C.B.’s Ridley ties have followed him around the world. “I’ve called the school to ask who’s living in places like Barbados or Bermuda before visiting. And sure enough, I’ve had lunch with classmates I hadn’t seen in 30 years. That’s the magic of Ridley.”
The Ridley Family, Everywhere
These stories, from Hong Kong to the UK, Korea to Mexico, are a testament to the enduring communities cultivated by Ridleians across generations. Whether through mentorship, friendship or shared memories, Ridleians continue to support one another across time zones and generations.
The Ridley motto, Terar Dum Prosim, “May I be consumed in service,” lives on in every connection, every reunion and every warm welcome extended to a fellow OR. Because once you’ve passed through the Marriott Gates, eaten in the Great Hall and experienced the magic of Snake Dance, you’re a part of something much bigger than yourself. You’re a member of the Ridley family.

Ridley College Archives Celebrates 30 Years — AN ANNIVERSARY OF MEMORIES AND LEGACY
By Kelly Neill ’81
Terence Cronyn ’20 was more than just a student and teacher at Ridley — he was a passionate steward of its history, a man whose devotion to the School spanned decades. His vision laid the foundation for one of Ridley’s most meaningful legacies. Terry’s dream was simple yet profound: to create a designated space where the School’s rich history, dating back to its founding in 1889, could be preserved, protected and shared with future generations. Today, that dream lives on in the Ridley College Archives — an enduring tribute to his love, dedication and tireless effort.
Over the decades, Terry not only educated young minds but quietly and methodically collected fragments of Ridley’s story — photographs and glass negatives from the early 1900s, letters from former Headmasters and countless scrapbooks that chronicled school life. His crowded apartment in the Lower School eventually became a sort of unofficial repository, filled with boxes and cabinets housing these precious artifacts. For Terry, each item was a piece of Ridley’s soul, and he understood better than anyone the importance of preserving them.
Though Terence Cronyn passed away before seeing a formal archive established, it is easy to imagine his joy and pride had he lived to witness his collection become the bedrock of
For Terry, each item was a piece of Ridley’s soul, and he understood better than anyone the importance of preserving them.
what is now a respected and evolving aspect within Ridley. His greatest delight would surely have been knowing that his lifelong collecting had not been in vain but had instead laid the groundwork for an archive that tells Ridley’s story from the early days of Springbank to the sprawling campus we now know.
The dream Terry held so dearly was brought to life by others who shared his vision, most notably. Paul E. Lewis, a former teacher, historian and librarian, whose determination ensured that Ridley’s heritage would not fade with time. Under the initiative of the History Department and with the support of generous individuals and foundations, over $120,000 was raised to create a dedicated archival space. In May 1995, 30 years ago, the Ridley College Archives officially opened its doors in the basement of School House, marking a historic moment for the school community.
A key figure in this effort was David MacLachlan ’45, whose passion for Ridley’s history equalled that of Terry and Paul. David played an instrumental role in securing both funding and historical items for the archives. His dedication earned him the affectionate title of “Honorary Archivist,” and he worked closely with Paul Lewis to catalogue and preserve the growing collection. Together, their meticulous work set a new standard for documenting and celebrating Ridley’s legacy.
Today, the torch has been passed to a new generation, and the archives have found a new and modern home in the beautifully renovated Iggulden Building. Upstairs in the Mitchell Learning Commons, this new space, supported generously by the Class of 1961, provides a climate-controlled environment with careful regulation of temperature and light, essential elements for the preservation
