HEADMASTER’S HEADLINES

I remember opening 2020 with community messages that played on the idea of ‘20/20 vision’. In reflection, I can’t discern if this was comic or tragic. Of course, no degree of clarity or acuity could have predicted how the year would unfold. Indeed, 2020 was one of those collective experiences that left one thinking that we were indeed living through an historically momentous time—an inflection point, a revolution, a paradigm shift.

By December, one could hardly blame those of us who privately (or publicly) offered good riddance to the year that was—our annus horribilis?

Indeed, with a vaccine on the horizon, there was much hope and anticipation for 2021. Of course, as with most things, it is not that simple. After all, the pandemic continues to rage and 2021, so far, is still a struggle.

On the flip side of this coin, 2020 was not all horror.

In fact, with reflection and the stoic mindset we encourage in our students, one can articulate a long list of silver linings. As business thinker Simon Sinek notes, optimism is about our ability to see the “half full” moments and valuable lessons from the recent past.

Let’s not cast all of 2020 aside—after all there emerged much that is good.

Certainly, looking back on Michaelmas Term, we have plenty to praise. A September return to school—all students, every day—in the midst of a pandemic is an accomplishment worth noting. As was our ability to open campus in early August to over one hundred boarding students who were required to self-isolate for 14 days following their international travel. Managing the challenging task of teaching a blend of in-person and online learning in each and every class, day in and day out, is a stressful, yet heroic task to be heralded. So too was the maintenance of our dynamic co-curricular programme and ensuring daily physical activity for all

students despite the various restrictions and health measures. Keeping campus open to boarders during school holidays–including the Winter Holiday break, when we hosted over one hundred students on campus (surely an historic first for Ridley)–is yet another example of Ridley at its best in 2020. Of course, we accomplished all of this whilst protecting and deepening our sense of community and connection with each other, and with the larger traditions of our school.

Although 2020 was also defined by the explosion of so much social and political turmoil, I say we choose to reflect on the silver linings of these tumultuous moments. Rarely since the revolutionary 1960s have young people been more engaged, committed and at times inflamed by the social issues of the day. As you will read on page 34, social activism and nuanced student leadership is happening in the name of diversity, equity, inclusion, and the pursuit of that noble dream. Young Ridleians are the leaders of tomorrow; don’t let anyone tell you they are apathetic! Another silver lining worth noting is our collective resilience in the face of adversity.

This issue’s Alumni@Work section features Old Ridleian athletes and their stories of strength and optimism.

Although I offer our readers my warmest wishes for smoother seas ahead in 2021, let’s not entirely forget that old adage, “turbulent seas make great sailors.”

From adversity, there have been new opportunities and valuable lessons learned. Ridley is already stronger and more confident, thanks to the choppy waters we’ve so recently and successfully navigated.

Terar Dum Prosim, J. Edward Kidd

In a year quite unlike any other, our collective focus was on safety, wellbeing and reaching out to those in need—and our students rose to the challenge. From stellar onstage performances to finding thoughtful ways of supporting the community, time and again our Tigers have impressed us with their resilience, adaptability and maturity. Flip through to see what’s kept them busy this term—we think you’ll agree.

A Warm Welcome

100 Per Cent Pass Rate

At the start of the school year, our Prefects received a warm welcome in the Upper School Assembly, and we couldn’t be prouder of this outstanding and committed group. This year’s wellbeing theme is ‘resilience’ and these student leaders—and all our students—are embodying it day after day.

The 2019-20 year ended on a high note!

For the first time since introducing IB across all grades in 2014, every single Diploma Programme candidate passed this rigorous academic programme. With the world average pass rate being 78 per cent in 2020, this achievement places Ridleans in the top minority.

Building IB Community Earlier this fall, first and second year IB Diploma students gathered in Merritt Quad to get to know their peers. Our year two Tigers were happy to share their experience with the incoming Grade 11 students, and the group enjoyed some warm treats in the crisp autumn air—hot chocolate being the perfect way to toast to a collaborative year ahead!

Mayor Sendzik Comes to Class St. Catharines mayor, Walter Sendzik virtually visited the Grades 5 and 5/6 classes in Lower School as part of the PYP unit on “Understanding Self.” Mayor Sendzik started things off with a presentation before hosting a lively Q&A session. The students received a deeper understanding of his daily roles and responsibilities—along with the challenges and most rewarding aspects of his career.

The Long History of Canada’s Indigenous Our Upper School students wrapped up October by observing Reconciliation Week. Students participated in #OrangeShirtDay, engaged in positive discussions about reconciliation and enjoyed a thoughtful presentation by Indigenous rights activist, Michele-Elise Burnett ‘86. The impressive alumna taught a rapt audience about the Treaty of Niagara.

Students Speak Up This October, members of the Debate and Public Speaking Club participated in the International Independent Schools’ Public Speaking Contest—based out of Vancouver, B.C. and held virtually this year. Member schools from across the globe joined in the lively event, and the competition was strong. Kechun (Tony) Wu ‘23, Haelim (Jennifer) Lee ‘22 and Mahmoud Radwan ‘23 represented Ridley in excellent fashion!

Up for Interpretation The annual Lower School Interpretive Reading Competition took place this fall.

The competition was strong, and the Intermediate Division (Grade 7), Senior Division (Grade 8) and EAL all streamed from Williams Hall to our Grade 7 and 8 classrooms. Outstanding performances were given by Intermediate winner, Isabella Massis ‘26; Senior winner, Sharlize Price ‘25; and EAL winner, Yating (Linda) Yu ‘26.

Grade 5 Classes Welcome Prefects To cap off their IB ‘Leadership and Informed Citizenship’ unit, Mr. Murray and Mrs. Underwood’s Grade 5 classes invited our Prefects to present on what it takes to be a student-leader. Our young Ridleians learned about working as a team, the importance of communication and time management, what it means to be a good role model, and the value of community. We’re sure many of them are now aspiring to one day be in these Prefects’ shoes.

arts The arts are all about inspiration and self-expression and, more than ever, our students are using creativity to tell their stories. This term has seen budding musicians, brave dramatists, and dedicated performers alike—campus continues to be filled with diversity, beauty and song!

Here Comes Santa Claus At the beginning of November, our Cadet Band jingled all the way to Niagara Falls to film a special performance for the 116th annual Toronto Santa Claus Parade; the band played “Jingle Bell Rock” while the Falls roared behind them. This longstanding Canadian tradition aired in early December on CTV and helped get us in the holiday spirit!

Tuning In Early Our Grade 2 learners were bursting with joy as they received their very first violins!

Ridley’s arts programme allows students to unleash their creativity and express themselves confidently through music, art, design, and theatre. First up, our littlest Tigers learned about playing with correct posture, mental focus and the proper violin hold. We have some world-class musicians in the making!

(Un)Mask Receives Rave Reviews The Upper School production of (Un)Mask aired November 6th and 7th, live from the Mandeville Theatre, to a wide audience online. Originally conceived as a part of R2L-Summer Playwright’s Circle, (Un)Mask grew to include dramatic work by recent graduates, Angela Daudu ‘20 and Tomiwa Femi-Johnson ‘20, and current Grade 10 students, Janae Shao ‘23, Victoria Pan ‘23 and Humzah Gilani ‘23. The play explored topics of identity, racism, trauma, and inclusion against the dreamlike/nightmarish backdrop of the pandemic.

During their intense seven-week rehearsal period, cast and crew developed the text into an evocative performance which drew from individual experiences and explored how we have each been uniquely impacted in a world fighting to overcome COVID-19.

This was carefully captured by the film crew who, alongside developing the projections and scenes with remote actors, crafted the narrative vision that appeared in the livestream online.

After the performance, the actors reflected on their work in a talk-back—a powerful conversation where they shared their own contributions to the creative process, while acknowledging their own personal experiences with racism, isolation and trauma through the pandemic. All observed the impact the playbuilding process had on their own personal growth.

In the Cards Each year, we challenge our Lower School students to flex their creative muscles and design a Ridleythemed holiday card. For 2020, we were excited to announce two winners of the Headmaster’s Holiday Card Contest: Yue (Bella) Pan ’32 and Halle DeSilva ’30. It was too hard to choose between Halle’s snow-topped Mariott Gates and Bella’s festive Hank the Tiger!

athletics From skills development to team-building to keeping their goals on track, our hardworking Tigers continue to keep wellbeing top of mind as they work towards strong wins and personal bests. This season, we found plenty of opportunities to cheer them on!

Lower School Takes to the Fields The 118th Annual Lower School Cross Country Race took place September 30th for Grades 4 to 8 students—albeit slightly differently than in years past!

Runners raced in their classroom cohorts throughout the day, with individual and House standings recorded.

Winner of the Cadeau Cup, Isadora Drynan ‘26 was this year’s fastest girl, and the fastest boy was Kiyo Steward ‘26, who won the Lt. Frank A. Read Cup. Congratulations to both and to winning House Team, Eastern Rock—winners of the Peter B. Robinson Cup!

Back on Track After suffering a brain hemorrhage last May, Prep Boys hockey player and Flint Firebirds draft pick, Jacob Cielen-Gough ‘21 is back on the ice—and the embodiment of grit and determination. The talented defenceman, who was selected by Flint in the 2019 OHL draft, admits the experience changed him, but is hoping to return to the team this season.

Players Keep Sharp We’re incredibly proud of our Prep Hockey players, who are working hard to maintain their edge. Both boys and girls have been taking to the Tiger Arena to hone their skills and play some rousing inter-squad games.

Keeping the Pace On November 25th, our Houses of Ridley cohorts gave it their all at the annual Upper School Cross Country Run—one of our oldest traditions! Persevering through rain and wind, racers made it to the finish line, out of breath but full of accomplishment. Top Houses this year were the girls of Gooderham East and our Dean’s House boys. Here are this year’s top place winners by division: Senior Girls: Kalyna Kit ‘21 Junior Girls: Autumn Crowe ‘23 Novice Girls: Emma Massis ‘24 Senior Boys: Adam McDonald ‘21 Junior Boys: Nathan Mandigo ‘22 Novice Boys: Loukas Massis ‘24

Good Sports November 10th, Lower School concluded the fall sports term with their Term 1 Sports Awards ceremony. The annual event is an opportunity for coaches and captains to reflect and speak on the term, sharing highlights, slideshows and videos. Though normally hosted in the Mandeville Theatre, with athletes recognized on stage with team crests and Excellence Pins, this year’s celebration was virtual. Students, teachers and coaches tuned in from various classrooms to celebrate the athletic efforts and growth of their fellow Tigers.

service Our sense of community is strong! We’re so proud of the generous spirits of our students, who stepped up at a time when the world needs it most. From on-campus charity walks to local outreach to supporting the causes which touch us all, this term was filled with the heart and promise of citizens who will change our world.

Stepping Up in Service October’s first weekend was filled with activity on campus, as students and faculty laced up their shoes for a cause. Two charitable runs kept our feet moving: one was the Niagara Child Centre’s Superhero Run, the proceeds of which go toward providing rehabilitation and support services to children with a variety of needs.

Then, runners donned pink for the CIBC Run for the Cure, organized by Carmen Elliot ‘21, with support from Mrs. Roud and Mrs. Onclin. Upper School students and faculty clocked their steps in honour of those who have faced breast cancer—especially those within our Ridley family. The on-campus run surpassed its goal by raising approximately $15,000 for cancer research, proving nothing—even a pandemic—will stop us from serving our community.

Home Advantage Students marked October’s Spirit Week in Upper School, and the festivities kicked off with Olympic Day—an opportunity for students to dress as an athlete representing their home country. Across campus, good sports were striking poses with friends (COVID-safe, of course) for a chance to be featured on @keepingupwithhank Instagram account and were judged Most Spirited by the discerning Prefect team.

AB East Walks a Mile in Her Shoes This fall, students from Arthur Bishop East House walked a mile in her shoes to end violence against women and raise donations in support of Gillian’s Place, a local women’s shelter. The annual event— held virtually this year—took place on campus and students raised awareness about gender-based violence throughout the week. The week culminated in a high-heeled march. All of our Houses support local charities as part of our school-wide commitment to service and in the spirit of Terar Dum Prosim.

#OrangeShirtDay On September 30th, Lower School students marked Orange Shirt Day, an important opportunity to acknowledge the negative impact Canadian Residential schools had on Indigenous children, their families, their culture, and communities. The day was filled with activities to help students learn about this period in our nation’s history and to understand the importance of coming together in the spirit of reconciliation and hope.

Remembrance Day Services Students donned their poppies for Remembrance Day in November, gathering to honour those who fought for our freedom.

In Burgoyne House, our junior boarders created a display wall of names honouring the 163 fallen Ridleians from both world wars.

Despite COVID-19 modifications, our annual Remembrance Day services in the Memorial Chapel retained their solemn and moving tone. Both services included a reading of the Roll of Honour— each of the 163 Ridleians was assigned to a student who would sit as the name was called out. It was a bright fall day, and a beautiful violin solo by Victor Kie ‘25 filled the Chapel, while sunshine spilled through the stained glass, as if to light up the memories of those who were lost. Our Honour Guard cadets were in fine form, lending their presence in a sombre and poignant display, and across campus and online, students were engaged in meaningful discussions about the past.

‘Tis the Season for Service Service remains a central pillar of a Ridley education and students have been jumping on every opportunity to give back to the local community—and their generosity and enthusiasm for spreading cheer ahead of the holidays have been heartwarming. Our Grade 9 and 10 Tigers spent a late-November Saturday building a Salvation Army Toy Mountain. Gifts for children in need were piled high, each with a handwritten message from a Ridleian.

Meanwhile, Grade 11 students participated in our fourth annual Helping Hands Project. This initiative challenges students to work together to assemble prosthetic hands, which are then sent to children in developing countries who have lost limbs to land mines.

In a similar vein, students found other creative ways to support from afar.

Each year, a group of Ridleians travels halfway around the world to visit the Jacaranda Foundation and School in Malawi. Due to the pandemic, the 2020 trip was cancelled, but our students participated in the highly entertaining #JerusalemChallenge. This video was stitched together featuring dancers from around the globe and shown at the Jacaranda Foundation Virtual Gala on November 15th.

Going Green Our student-led Green Tigers Club has been hard at work educating their peers on small actions they can take to help the environment.

Their latest initiative has been focused on reducing the amount of waste by encouraging students to recycle or compost when possible.

Prior to this new initiative, Chartwells would dispose of roughly 12 bags of garbage after lunch each day. The result: a whopping 95 per cent decrease in garbage—now reduced to a half bag of waste, seven bags of compostable material and one-and-a-half bags of recycling.

Meanwhile, Lower School learners have been working hard to sort their waste into appropriate bins, while Upper School participated in Bring Your Own Bottle Day on December 11th, which encouraged students to refill reusable bottles instead of choosing single use.

Postcards for Peace This November, students safely delivered 150 Postcards for Peace to local veterans at senior homes and churches throughout the Niagara Region—just one of the ways Ridleians expressed their gratitude for the brave men and women who fought for our freedom.

alumni work @ Keeping active, playing sports and being part of a team can go a long way to becoming a healthy, well-rounded citizen. At Ridley, this is a core part of our curriculum: our students have plenty of opportunities to try something new and get better at what they love—and have fun while they do it!

Some will go on to high-level competition or become professional athletes. Others will find ways to bring sport to their own communities.

Still more will keep being active front and centre for a lifetime, as a way to keep both mind and body in tiptop shape. But regardless of where life takes them, the traits which sport brings out in our students—such as leadership, work ethic, sportsmanship, and resilience—stay with them long after they leave the field.

And the proof is in their stories. We spoke with rower and marathon runner, Jim Butterfield ’70, who’s finding ways to give back in his home of Bermuda; Olympic triathlete, Sam McGlone ’97, now a doctor working on the frontlines of a global pandemic; and Jamie Massie ’76, whose passion for hockey has changed the city of Barrie—and, arguably, the OHL at large.

For these alumni, the skills they learned—whether on the water, the track, or the ice—led to their success as both athletes and professionals. So, settle in, put on your favourite workout playlist and turn the page to read their inspiring stories.

GOING THE

Distance Raised on rowing by Ridley’s best, Jim Butterfield ’70 knows how sport can inspire, support and bring people together. Now, the Bermudian businessman shares how he keeps moving forward—and is giving back to his community.

Jim Butterfield was on the soccer field when Coach Mark Gallop came up and asked if he knew how to row. “I’d only seen rowing in the movies,” Jim remembers. “I knew how to row a dingy; I knew how to row a punt—I had no idea he was talking about something that was 63-feet long. But I fell in love with it right away.”

Until Mark came to Ridley, rowing hadn’t been taken all that seriously. The Englishman had arrived just two years prior and had been busy overhauling the school’s rowing programme. Having rowed at both Hampton School and Cambridge University, Mark knew exactly what a competitive rowing programme entailed.

“The guys would get on a bus and go into Port Dalhousie.

One group would go off and have some cigarettes and the others would row, and then they’d switch off,” Jim explains.

“Then Mark came in and said, ‘The bus is being sold. If you want to row, you’ll need to buy a bicycle and you’ll need to ride down to the rowing shed and ride back. And don’t be late for dinner.’ Suddenly rowing was demanding.”

As part of his vision, Mark recruited local Olympic oarsman, Neil Campbell ‘51 who, at the time, was living in nearby Vineland. “You’re a Ridley boy,” Mark entreated the athlete.

“We’ve got rowing now. Would you come and coach us?”

The rest, as they say, is history. Between Mark and Neil, what had once been a casual pastime soon became a big deal on campus, a challenging sport to which students aspired.

And Jim quickly became one of them. He had come to Ridley in 1962 when he was just 12 years-old, fresh from Hamilton, Bermuda and following his older brother, George ’57. Jim’s brother, Tom, who was just slightly older than he, was sent to St. Andrew’s College—there was room for only one new Butterfield at Ridley that year, and their parents decided that Jim would benefit from having George nearby.

“I wrote six letters home that first week,” Jim laughs, looking back. “It was a bit shocking and I couldn’t just jump on a train and head back to Oakville or Toronto; I was homesick.”

But Jim soon settled into school, making friends and exploring the athletic opportunities he hadn’t had back home. And he was careful to heed George’s advice.

“You’re from Bermuda—they’re going to want to put you in the pool,” George warned. “Don’t get in that pool!

Take up ice hockey.”

So, Jim tried it all, from soccer to cross country to track and field—politely passing on cricket and football—and, as his brother had suggested, hitting the ice. “I loved ice hockey,” he smiles. “We used to break into the rink at two or three o’clock in the morning and skate until the night watchman kicked us out and sent us back to bed.”

But when he got to Upper School and started rowing, the sport took over. “We accomplished a lot—and would have died on our swords for Neil Campbell,” Jim remembers

Jim served on Ridley’s Board of Governors for 10 years and was active in the Bermuda community, fundraising, working to connect and rally Ridleians for the alumni meeting each year and organizing accommodations for the school’s visits to Bermuda.

fondly, then the smallest of Ridley’s heavy eight at fivefoot-ten. “He was an amazing coach and mentor, an idol for most of us. He would get out of the coach boat and into the heavy eight with us; he’d train with our crew after training with his own Olympic squad, then would show up perspiring in his track suit and say, ‘Ok, let’s get started.’”

Theirs was the first crew to go to Washington, D.C., the first to go to The Royal Henley. Each meet was a success—and their competitors were taking notice. Soon, Ridley became a powerful player in the high school rowing arena, their oarsmen the ones to look out for. Jim went on to win the Neil Campbell Oarsman of the Year.

After Prize Day, Jim enrolled in Business Administration at Boston’s Northeastern University, a school known for its strong rowing programme. He ended up rowing in a single, due to his height, and became friends with classmate, Jim Dietz, who was the number one U.S. oarsman at the time.

“He became a bit of a coach and mentor,” recounts Jim. “I would just do what he told me to do. We rowed together prior to Munich and he said, ‘Jim, I’m trying to get to the finals’—so I knew where I was going to end up.”

Jim represented Bermuda in the Men’s Single Sculls at the Munich Olympics in 1972—the only Bermudian ever to do so. That same season, he’d casually ‘popped in’ to run the Boston Marathon, showing up without any training or even a registration number. Because he was in such great shape, he ran the race in an impressive three hours, then spent the afternoon training and rowing.

“When I got back to my apartment that evening, I called Ted Pilgrim, Ridley’s headmaster,” Jim shares. “He’d once told us these stories from when he’d ran the Boston Marathon and it had struck me as something that would be cool to do one day. That always stayed with me.”

When Jim returned to Bermuda, its windy weather and big tides soon made it clear that it wasn’t a place to row.

Recognizing he’d need to pivot, Jim sent his rowing shell back to Boston and took up cycling, hoping to qualify for the Olympics in Montreal. However, during a rather disappointing trial in North Carolina, he realized that, without a team, he didn’t have a prayer. “I was an individual in a team sport,” he shrugs. “It wasn’t going to happen.”

It was then that Jim took up running seriously, training for marathons with his wife, Debbie—who’s an athletic powerhouse in her own right. Back when Debbie had first announced she was going to take up marathon running, they’d laughed. But, inspired by the runners she’d seen in Boston, she soon proved her doubters wrong, training every morning before work. She would go on to place fourth in the 1985 Boston Marathon and participated in the U.S. Olympic trials. Debbie has since run many impressive races and has become an inspirational figure in distance running, helping to bring women into the sport.

It was 1976 when the pair moved back to Bermuda; they enjoyed road running as a couple and understood the sacrifices required to excel. An early morning or late for dinner was easily forgiven, as each pushed themselves to get their miles in for the day.

However, their training was proving to push cultural boundaries as well. Bermuda is a friendly, yet conservative place, with a history of slavery and segregation of which its citizens are mindful. In the late seventies, sport was still quite segregated—soccer and cricket were for black athletes and fans, while sailing was for the white population.

Road running was one of the ways this divide was bridged, and today sports in Bermuda are very much integrated.

Jim and Debbie earned spots on the board of the Bermuda Track & Field Association and the Butterfields soon became synonymous with running; they were among a group that started the Mid-Atlantic Athletic Club.

In the years that followed, Jim ran the Boston, Deluth, New York and London marathons, and competed at the Commonwealth Games.

flourishing

As back trouble forced him to incorporate more swimming and cycling into his routine, Jim brought triathlon to Bermuda; he was organizing races as far back as 1979. In 1981, Jim finished the Hawaiian Ironman Triathlon in seventh place.

In 1999, when Jim turned 50, he cycled 100 miles a day from Irvine, California to Boston, Massachusetts to raise money for P.A.L.S., a cancer care centre in Bermuda. It took him 30 days. Seven years later, he was inducted into the Bermuda Sports Hall of Fame.

That passion for sports runs in the family: his wife, daughter-in-law, and niece have all competed on the international sports stage, and Jim’s sons are both highly athletic. 38-year-old Tyler is based in Colorado and is a professional triathlete, finishing seventh and then fifth in Hawaii. Spencer, now 40, competes in triathlons in his downtime, and heliskis, wakeboards, and surfs. Since Jim’s semi-retirement in 2018, Spencer runs Butterfield & Vallis, the family’s fourth-generation food import business. The company was founded in 1918 by Jim’s grandfather, H.

For Jim, who has worked there for more than forty years, stepping back has offered him the perfect opportunity to focus on philanthropic endeavours. It seems that generosity also runs in the family—and Jim comes by it honestly. His grandfather awarded scholarships to four different schools in Bermuda as early as the 1930s.

It’s clear Jim’s service and contributions mean a lot to those around him. He’s widely recognized as a generous leader in the community, who works to improve the social, economic and environmental conditions of

As I’ve gotten older, it feels good to be able to give back, to participate. I look at those Houses—Merritt House and Gooderham House—and I think about those Old Ridleians who gave to the bricks and mortar so that people like us could attend Ridley College, could create those great memories, those great friendships. his country. He was honoured by the Association of Fundraising Professionals in 2015.

Jim is modest when speaking about it, however. In a small place like Bermuda, he reasons, it’s easy to see where the need is, and it’s often simple to resolve—whether that means replacing the church’s appliances so they can feed those who need a little help, or rebuilding the living conditions at the Salvation Army—a project Jim completed with fellow Ridleian, Kirk Kitson ’58. Jim is also on the board of the Sloop Foundation, a cause close to his heart that sends at-risk youth out to sea for a week on board a hundred-foot ‘floating classroom.’

Speaking with this Old Ridleian, it’s clear how sport can serve one’s life in so many positive ways: breaking down barriers, bridging communities and bringing a family closer together. And, as time goes on and goals change, the athlete’s journey might shift, might even go from land to sea and back again—but that demand for excellence, that drive to meet a challenge, never does quite fade. “Our football coach, Reverend Hunt, used to say to us, ‘Keep your head up and keep your feet going,’” Jim says goodnaturedly, as we finish our conversation. It’s a beautiful sunny day in Bermuda, and he’s heading out for a bike ride around the island. “It was good advice.”

Sam McGlone ’97 has always loved a good challenge—the secret is to keep one step ahead. The retired triathlete shares her experiences at Ridley, what’s keeping her running these days, and the conversation she wishes more young athletes would have.

These days, Sam McGlone is taking life in stride, albeit at a quick pace. The Olympic triathlete may have retired from competition, but as an emergency physician with two little ones at home, Sam has more than enough to keep her running—and, in case you were wondering, she’s still as active as ever.

The San Diego-based doctor just started working at Sharp Memorial hospital, following residency at the University of California. Her husband, Brent, is an emergency physician as well, and the two have a fiveyear-old son, Cole, and a daughter, Alex, who’s three.

“It’s a little hectic,” she says cheerfully, but she’s clearly enjoying every minute. “The kids are high-energy, funny, active—they’re everything you’d imagine.” They come by it honestly. Their parents met through triathlon; Brent was an elite athlete and swim coach, who, like Sam, transitioned to medicine later on.

As we speak, it doesn’t take long for the elephant in the room to be addressed: Sam is working as a doctor in the midst of a global pandemic, and she is at turns empathetic and frustrated. “It wears on you,” she admits.

“Everyone’s got this fatigue because it’s been going on so long—but as a health care worker I’ve seen the numbers

rise. People are coming in sicker and you know a lot of it is preventable.” She pauses. “But I’m also sensitive to the fact that people are over this and just want to see their families. They’re not ready to make those sacrifices indefinitely.”

The upshot of California living, however, is that their family can be outdoors year-round, whether that means being active, taking a break, or socializing safely outside.

The seasonal perks of San Diego are, admittedly, quite different from St. Catharines, where Sam and her sister, Karen ’95 grew up, right near Ridley, where they attended Upper School. “My parents always felt education was a priority, so when it came to high school, we started looking at different options,” she remembers. “Ridley immediately stood out because of the breadth of opportunity there. To have that in your own backyard and be able to go as a day student was amazing. We loved our time there.”

From dabbling in music and theatre, to exploring new sports and writing for the school newspaper, Sam enjoyed the diversity she found on campus. She rode horses, was a harrier, joined the swim team, was on the First Girls hockey team for a time, and was the 1993

Midget Girls Cross Country Run winner, earning a Tiger Tie for her athletic achievements. “When your kids are young, you think about putting them into one sport or another, but I’d encourage them to try a variety,” she offers, thinking of her own sport-loving little ones. “In your late teens and twenties, you’ll need to focus in order to get to a high level. But there’s a lot of time before that needs to happen, and you’re asking for burnout if you specialize too early.”

It was Ridley’s cross-country coach, Maggie Swan who first encouraged the 14-year-old to look into triathlon. “She said it was a great way to stay in shape during summers for the track and crosscountry seasons,” Sam recalls. “So, I borrowed a wet suit and a bike and did the Grimsby Triathlon. I don’t think I did terribly well that first one, but it was challenging and a lot of fun. I decided, ‘I want to get better at this.’”

In the summers that followed, Sam participated in races across Ontario, but it was her training with a team in Australia that really helped up her game.

“Australia has strong teams and training programmes,” she explains, having gone for a gap year after high school,“and I took a big jump up in my level.

When I came back to Canada, I made the Junior National Team, and that launched me to international competitions.”

From there, she was, quite literally, off and running.

Having always intended to go to medical school, Sam moved to Quebec to study kinesiology at McGill University and trained with a club while she completed her degree. When she was presented with the opportunity to make Team Canada, Sam decided to postpone med school to see where her talents could take her. She knew there was only so long she’d be able to compete in a tough endurance sport like hers, and the opportunity was too good to pass up. After graduating from McGill in 2002, she moved to the Canadian Training Centre in Victoria, B.C. It was a smart gamble which led to a successful 10-year career as a professional triathlete. Sam raced in the International Triathlon Union (ITU) World Cup Series, won the Canadian National Triathlon championship in 2004 and 2005, and represented Canada at the 2004 Olympic Games in Athens.

“It was the highlight of my life,” she remembers of her time in Athens, that first call to her mom back home drowned out by the cheers in the stadium.

“In terms of the race itself, it was like any other: the format’s the same, the officials, the competitors—and in some ways, that was reassuring. But everything surrounding the Games was so much bigger than anything I’d ever seen. Triathlon is one of the smaller sports, so we don’t get a lot of mainstream publicity.

We’re not used to the crowds. Walking into the stadium for the opening ceremonies where there were 80,000 people and media and cameras flashing was just on a different scale.”

Shortly thereafter, Sam transitioned to competing in Ironman races and won gold at the 2006 World Championships—she’s the only Canadian to ever win.

“Canadians have a long line of pretty incredible triathletes,” she says proudly. “Because of the size and climate of our country, we produce some impressive results. There have been some amazing women who have come before and after me.” Sam would go on to finish second at the 2007 Ironman World Championships in Kona, Hawaii and took home the Ironman title in Arizona in 2009.

And, along the way, she wrote, contributing a monthly column to Triathlete magazine where she tackled questions on training, racing and lifestyle.

For Sam, it was a great way to communicate with the pre-Twitter triathlon population, in a time before social media was what it is today. Days were tough but satisfying for the young athlete, on a perpetual loop of eat-train-sleep-recover. A solid race performance was her reward.

“At the time, you’re not striving for balance,” she recalls, though that’s admittedly changed over the years. “You need to have that singular focus. You might train 30 to 40 hours a week, but then there’s another 20 that’s dedicated to recovery so you can do your next session—stretching and sleeping and nutrition and massage and physical therapy and lifting weights. It’s the difference between those who do triathlon recreationally and those in the professional ranks; all those peripheral things that give you that extra edge.”

My parents always felt education was a high priority and when we started looking at options for high school, Ridley stood out because of the sheer breadth of opportunity there. To have that right in our own back yard and be able to attend as a day student was amazing.

Despite the challenging work, spending her twenties racing and in training camps was an opportunity to travel and make friends with athletes from around the world. “I was 22 when I started full time, 24 when I competed at the Olympics,” she explains. “And you may miss out on some social aspects of day-to-day life, but I never regretted it. I went to Australia and Thailand and Japan and all over Europe—and you can’t do this forever. You have to retire at some point.”

The topic of retirement warrants more serious attention, Sam posits, and is part of ongoing conversations around mental health. For many athletes, the focus is on performance, their identity bound up in their sport, their confidence contingent upon their success. When the time comes to transition out, many feel aimless.

“It’s hard to think there will be an end to a sports career,” she says simply. “But of course, there will be an end. Most of us retire in our thirties, which is still young. So, we have these athletes who have dedicated their lives to this one thing, becoming respected experts in their field. Suddenly they’re starting from scratch somewhere else. It’s very emotional.”

Sam completed her final race, the 2012 Antwerp 70.3, just ten days before becoming a first-year med student at the University of Arizona. “I deliberately chose something allencompassing to throw myself into,” she shares.

She’d always known she’d go to med school and the time it would take to complete that, in large

measure, dictated when she left competition. “Some people need more closure and time to transition, but I chose a quick turnaround so there wasn’t a lot of time to soul search and lament the loss. There was this immediate new identity that was just as exciting and full of potential.”

In many ways, med school was as time consuming and competitive as triathlon ever was, and with a welllaid out path ahead of her, she was able to improve and track her gains in a similar fashion. The same grit, mental focus, and determination Sam used for competition, was now channelled into a new vocation.

“I think emergency medicine tracks a lot of athletes,” she muses. “Triathletes, especially. We’re the jack of all trades: we’re never going to be the best in swimming, or biking, or running—but we’re good at doing all three. In emergency medicine, we’re not the best in any one specialty, but we know enough about everyone’s specialty to identify and treat emergencies. In some ways, it’s very comparable to the triathlon mindset.”

As for the physical adjustment, the decreased physical activity was a bit of a shock. She eased herself out of the heavy, training-focused weeks and into a more sustainable lifestyle, enjoying the opportunity to explore new sports and return to others. These days, Sam goes on ski trips in the winter, paddle boards and mountain bikes and runs along the beach. Regardless of the hustle and bustle of day-to-day life, Sam and Brent make certain the other has that time to unwind and decompress.

What’s clear from this Ridleian and Athlete of Distinction is her dedication to life-long personal development. Sam has always set the course, tracked a pace set by her own watch, and persevered on the uphill. These days, the path is more about balance, as she raises a young family and tends to those within her care—but that drive, that gold-standard mindset, hasn’t changed one bit.

Community CENTRE

“Decide early on: are you a giver or a taker?” It’s the advice that has always carried him, both as an athlete and in business. Now, hockey enthusiast, Jamie Massie ’76 shares how he has helped grow the city of Barrie—and helped raise a new generation of leaders.

48

flourishing

alumni @ work

In 2015, Jamie lead a group of 75 community leaders to patriate sacred soil symbolically representing the blood of the wounded soldiers at Vimy, France. For the first time in Canadian history, soil was collected from the various battlefields and ceremoniously placed in the urn. Jamie and his family gathered soil from the spot where his own grandfather had lain bleeding so many years before.

On the ice, he may have played defence, but when it comes to his city, Jamie Massie ’76 is definitely at the centre. The businessman and long-time hockey player moved to Barrie a year after graduation from Northwood University, intrigued by an opportunity to acquire Barrie’s General Motors dealership and advance the community for which he'd grown an affection since childhood.

When Jamie moved to the city in 1981, it had a population of just over 25,000 people. Today, Barrie is booming, boasting 160,000 residents and on track to reach over a quarter of a million in the next 15 years. Thanks to Jamie’s leadership, Georgian Chevrolet has prospered right along with the city and has since gone on to become one of the top five Chevrolet dealerships in Canada.

Jamie still lives in Barrie with his wife, Wendy and their sons, Andrew, James, Jeffrey, and Alex. The three eldest work with their father at Georgian International, a company which grew out of the businesses Jamie took on over the years and is widely recognized as one of Simcoe County’s most influential. Today, it’s a leader in the automotive industry and a dominant real estate investor in residential and commercial land opportunities.

Amongst other points of pride—including being an instrumental part of the local hospital, airport, library,

and more—Jamie helped found the Automotive Business School of Canada at Georgian College, of which Jamie sat on the Board for many years.

Many of the friendships Jamie made on campus at Ridley he maintains to this day. He still works alongside good friends Ward Seymour ’74 and Dave Bunston ’76. He met Dave during childhood summers on Lake Simcoe more than 50 years ago. “We played hockey together at Ridley. Dave never passed the puck,” Jamie laughs goodnaturedly. “He always said if he passed to me, I never passed it back.”

Georgian’s most recent project, a sprawling golf club in close proximity to one of their developments, was purchased in 2017 and has since undergone substantial improvements. The Braestone Club is now home to a new club house and a restaurant called ‘The KTCHN,’ a high-quality build which blends with the land from which it emerges. Its atmosphere is timeless and serene and, for Jamie, it’s more than a business; it’s a place he wants to be.

Chatting with the friendly alumni this past fall, Jamie is clearly whip-smart when it comes to his business endeavours, but he’s comfortably casual about them, too, and his care for those in his community is genuine. To put it simply: business that does good, makes good sense.

Find things to work at that enhance your life. Don’t work for the sake of a dollar; work to make your life…your life.

“I left Ridley with the belief that you could be a giver or a taker in this world,” Jamie explains, quick to credit his time at the school with his service mindset. “So, we look at the bigger picture, and invest in things which improve quality of life for our family, for the people we work with, and the community at large—over the years, I’ve found that if you give to your community, the community gives right back to you.”

As it turned out, there were some fantastic players on the Colts—John Madden would go on to win three Stanley Cups—and when the team won the Sutherland Cup that first season, the new owners were motivated to do more.

“We thought, Barrie’s a hockey town. We can do this,” Jamie remembers. “It had an OHL team in the 1950s, so the question was, what can we do to bring an OHL team here now?”

If you knew Jamie at Ridley, you’d remember that he’s a hockey lover through and through—he started playing when he was just four—and his passion has followedhim throughout his life. “Ridley was ideal for someone who loved sports and hockey like I did,” Jamie remembers of his time in Upper School, citing mentors like hockey coach, Keith Mawhinney, Bill Montgomery and David Mackey.

They approached City Council with the idea and found the answer was a bit tricky: Barrie would need an arena to host a team, but they’d first need a team to argue for a new arena. So, they worked with the Ontario Hockey League and the City of Barrie to accomplish both. Soon, they were researching and finding creative ways to fund a new arena.

For Jamie, the traits formed through a lifetime of hockey—qualities like leadership, sportsmanship, competition, and being a good teammate— have served him well beyond the rink. And, when the opportunity presented itself, he worked to ensure others could have that same advantage. In 1991, when he and his friends learned that the local Jr. B Colts were going to forfeit their season due to a lack of funding, the three former players were determined to help. They stepped up and paid off the team’s debts—and found themselves the new owners of Barrie’s junior hockey team.

The project resulted in the Barrie Molson Centre (BMC), which was the first junior franchise in Canada to introduce private suites, a club seat programme, a restaurant at ice level, multiple entertainment venues, and a permit to sell liquor at games. “Our overarching idea was that it wouldn’t be just for hockey fans,” Jamie reasons. “This would be for the community at large, so that families could come together to support their junior team.”

“The community loved it,” he says, looking back. “We sold out suites in the first 48 hours they were on sale and had 800 club seat holders in the first month. The support from the community paid for [the arena] within its first

had sacrificed so much in the Great War, it was an incredible honour, and he took his new responsibilities seriously. For the hundred-year anniversary of the base, he spearheaded the creation of a monument in honour of the million-and-a-half soldiers who had served Canada and trained at Borden over the century.

As time went on, many of Barrie’s players graduated to the NHL and a number now boast Stanley Cup rings.

But Jamie used the sport platform to not only give kids the chance to play, but as an opportunity to teach them about service. “Inherent in our philosophy was that it would result in people giving back to their communities,” he says simply. “So, we taught our players to grow, to take on leadership roles. We believed that our responsibility wasn’t just to develop great hockey players, but to inspire amazing human beings.”

The initiative resulted in The Borden Legacy Monument, which was unveiled June 9th, 2016 by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Hon. Col. Jamie Massie. The Legacy Monument stands at the entrance to Canadian Forces Base Borden; inscribed upon it are the words, “Through these gates the sons and daughters of a grateful nation pass, serving Canada with honour, duty and courage, so all may live with freedom, democracy and justice.” It was an effort of great significance that shows what matters to Jamie most: family, history, community, and resilience.

In 2007, Jamie sold the team. He’d watched his four boys grow up at the arena and knew it was time for someone else to take over. But to this day, some of his fondest memories were from those years with the Colts. “My favourite was in 1999,” he recalls. “We’d had five NHL first round draft picks on that team, and those five players—I remember each of them—were out playing hockey with my four sons on my backyard rink”.

It’s a service-oriented mindset that has always been key to his success and it’s still fueling him decades later. For those just starting out? “Decide early to be a giver,” he advises. “Look at the bigger picture, ask how can I help move the world forward? Then run hard. Push yourself.

Get out in front of your peers and be that contributor who builds your life early. You’ll find society will help push you along the rest of the way.”

Two years later his career meandered again when Canada’s Minister of Defence, Peter McKay appointed Jamie Honorary Colonel of Canadian Forces Base Borden—a role dating back 300 years in military history and intended to build a strong esprit de corps among the community and the base. For Jamie, whose grandfather

As our conversation concludes, Jamie offers one final tidbit for Ridleians—and they’re words to live by. “Find things to work at that enhance your life,” he suggests simply. “Don’t just work for the sake of a dollar—work to make your life…your life.”

The Evolution of Ridley’s Dress Code and School Uniform

By Ella Foss ’16

As Ridley moves towards a new uniform design, Archives Intern and Queen’s University Concurrent Education student, Ella Foss ’16 takes a look back on the traditions, functionality, and design trends that have inspired more than a century of our school’s dress.

S

ince the establishment of Ridley, it has been clear that uniformity was an intentional way to create a sense of community, to place all students on an even playing field, and to foster a strong sense of belonging. The first headmaster, J.O. Miller was determined that, “Ridley College from opening day would be meticulous about the students’ school dress.” In staying true to Miller’s vision, a dress code has remained a constant, while changing with the times as Ridley itself has matured. To understand how the school has arrived at the uniform’s next update, we must first revisit the trends from decades past.

1889 to 1910s During the early years, when the packing list for boarders included “knickerbockers” and “pocket handkerchiefs,” a Ridley College cap with an embellished orange Ridley crest was issued to students for weekday wearing. At this time, the remaining garments of the dress code did not include the emblem, but promoted a 60

flourishing

professional style—the boys sported suits on school days, consisting of trousers, button-up shirt, tie, and blazer. Given the church services, Sundays in the late 1800s were even more formal; the boys wore black suit jackets and black waistcoats (suit vest).

Images of the First Cricket Elevens decorate our ACTAs, with Ridleians sporting white blazers which would eventually inspire the Prefect blazers of more recent times. This nod to Ridley’s British roots dates back as early as 1900 and remained through to the last year of cricket in 2001. As early as 1919, the Second Cricket Team can be seen wearing the black blazers with orange piping, which would soon become part of the Lower School uniform.

ARCHIVES CORNER 1920s

worn with navy blue or grey knee socks made the heat and outdoor play more enjoyable.

Ridley’s British independent school roots were also evident in the boys’ post-war attire. “Eton collars were the bane of the Juniors’ existence…[they] found so many excuses to avoid wearing the collar that it amounted to passive rebellion.” Due to the perceived discomfort of the garment, older students were permitted to instead don Marlborough sack coats.

In 1971, a new disciplinary code was put into place, based upon several firm beliefs: “that the individual student must be given increasing responsibility for his decisions and his actions; that the order and efficiency of the School should be maintained with a minimum of oppressive interference upon a boy’s freedom; and that good discipline does not depend necessarily upon absolute conformity, nor does it mean that a student’s cherished individualism need be sacrificed.”

1950s to 1970s Twenty years later, “blues and greys” became the number one dress, to be worn on Sundays and for Chapel.

As indicated in the ACTA of the era, “This term has seen the School emerging in new blue flannel blazers with an embroidered Ridley crest on the pocket.” At the same time, the Arts Tie was introduced, with thin, widely spaced orange and white stripes on a black background, still worn today by our thespians, musicians and artists, alike.

It must be said that Ridley’s long-standing Cadet programme has had significant influence over aspects of school dress. Our traditional military uniforms have progressed from army green to navy, khakis and maple leaf red.

At this time, the regular uniform of the Lower School students included the black blazer adorned with orange piping, a white, grey, or light blue dress shirt, the Lower School tie (orange, black and sliver) and either grey or black pants. Blues and greys were worn only on Sundays, with strictly grey, black or navy blue socks. Unbelievably, at the time, every clothing item had to be labelled with the student’s name, down to the individual sock!

Perhaps the most casual shift in the first half of Ridley’s existence was the introduction of summer dress, which became an alternative option for the Lower School students during the warmer months. A golf shirt and grey or navy Bermuda shorts

While older students continued to wear a plain jacket or one with small checks, some of the students displayed their individuality in loud, colourful ties. It’s no surprise then that ‘Frau Day’ has its roots in this decade, when Merritt House student, Mark Josselyn ’76 “set about to make his own ‘fashion statement.’” Back then, he would be found wearing contrasting patterns, stripes and plaid, from his tie to shirt, to his jacket, pants and even socks. The term ‘Frau’ (Josselyn’s nickname) was used to “describe anyone messy, disheveled or dirty…” The students of Merritt House North can still be found marking Frau Day each year, a nod to Josselyn’s self-described “eye-sore” look.

In fall 1973, Ridley welcomed female students for the first time. The dress code, previously written for all male students, was amended to state “or equivalent” for females. There really were no clear standards outlined for the young women: what was seen as within the rules varied between faculty members. For those first Ridley women and staff members alike, it was difficult to determine what fell within the rules. It was a time unprecedented in Canadian independent schools, and Headmaster Richard Bradley’s progressive decision to go co-ed meant Ridley had to chart new territory—including with its uniform.

Students have always worked to show their individuality through the uniform and in this liberal era some students elected to wear three-piece suits, while others pushed the limits of “trousers” by wearing corduroy pants. Summer dress was only an option for the boys.

1980s By the 1980s, the majority of Ridleians abandoned the busy and bright ties and began sporting popularized thin monochrome versions. The College’s first cohort of girls could wear pants or a skirt/ dress which went below the knee with socks or nylons, and often displayed their individuality by way of their jewelry and hairstyle. It did, however, take some time for a female uniform to be formalized.

At the end of the decade, Lower School updated its first official uniform policy. The black and white kilt, white button-up Oxford shirt or turtleneck, and black sweater or vest are cited as staples for the younger Ridleians.

“Change is needed everywhere one goes, and luckily at Ridley, most things simply got better [with change]” – 1988 ACTA

1990s to 2000s During the 1990s, the Upper School female students continued to push the limits of the dress code wearing babydoll dresses, Mary Janes, and small hoop earrings (studs alone being permitted previously).

Headmaster Doug Campbell, among others, sought to improve the standards of the students’ daily dress and resurfaced the discussions surrounding the dress code. The fruits of those ongoing debates came to fruition in 2000 when the Upper School gained its first official classroom uniform.

By the 21st century, the daily classroom dress included grey or blue trousers, the blue plaid kilt, a white button up shirt, tie, and a blue or grey pull-over sweater or vest. Blues and greys remained the number one dress. With dwindling competitors in Ontario, 2001 marked the final year of cricket at Ridley, and by 2008, the white blazer with orange piping was reassigned as the Prefect blazers­—this distinctive addition complementing the existing Prefect Tie and an homage to Ridley’s history.

ARCHIVES CORNER

2010s The last year of the white Prefect blazers was 2016; a new system of recognition was adopted the following year: piping along the lapel of the of Prefect (white) and House Captain blazer (respective house colour).

Fashion Forward Along with the changing times, Ridley has experienced many positive transformations, cementing its position as one of the top independent schools in Canada—the introduction of co-education, technology, younger grades, the International Baccalaureate (IB) programme, and positive education have been among the most notable. It’s no wonder then that our student attire has remained a strong marker of our connectedness.

As we can garner from the evolution of Ridley’s dress code and uniform, every once in a while a refresh is necessary.

In the coming year, our alma mater is planning for another redesign that nods to our storied past but serves the current era. A Uniform Committee, made up of students, faculty and staff, has been working to restyle the look and functionality of the uniform. In speaking with key members of this group, the update is said to be inspired by Ridley’s traditions and history— and we can’t wait to see future generations of students continue to proudly sport our insignia and that telltale vibrant pop of orange.

Special thanks is owed to interviewees: Ken Hutton, Trish Loat, Geoffrey Park ’80, Zack Jones, Gary Atack, Michele-Elise Burnett ’86, Janet Lewis, Wendy Darby ’99, Lance Postma, and Hanna Kidd.

2019–2020

ANNUAL REPORT

FROM THE BOARD OF GOVERNORS

Dear Ridley Community, The 2019-20 school year started off with incredible optimism and strength. We celebrated our largest enrollment ever, with 698 students representing 61 nationalities from around the globe.

Our students continue to flourish under the wonderful leadership of Headmaster Kidd and our dedicated faculty and staff.

Early in 2020, however, our world faced an enormous challenge with COVID-19. Since that time, we have tested our resilience and our ability to respond to changing realities. But despite the challenges, our commitment to carry on has resulted in a great many achievements.

Following the government mandated closure of our school in March, Ridley was quick to pivot and ensure that remote learning was accessible, manageable and fun for Ridleians of all ages. Our students finished their year academically strong and well positioned to continue their studies in the fall. Against all odds, we reopened school for the 2020-21 year, albeit with some diminished numbers.

To meet the ongoing needs of our Ridley community, our Canadian and U.S. Foundations committed $125,000 each to establish our Ridley COVID-19 Relief Fund, which resulted in another $102,000 being raised (a total now of $352,000 to date). This generosity provided 20 students thus far with tuition assistance for the 2020-21 school year, so they could continue their studies in spite of their families’ new financial circumstances.

This has indeed been a trying time, but it has shown us unequivocally that Ridley and its people are leaders, are able to move forward, support one another and do so with a positive attitude. I am honoured to work alongside the Board of Governors and our faculty and staff, especially during these extraordinary times. This year has assuredly been about pulling together as a team, at all levels, and these efforts continue!

I thank you for all of your support this past year—for your generous gifts of time, talent and financial treasure. Together, all of us make up this great community and I am genuinely grateful to you all, and proud of the Ridley of today.

A NEW PATH: RCFG RESPONDS TO 2020 The pandemic may have brought the RCFG’s oncampus work to a halt—but it didn’t stop their endeavours. The executive team quickly got to work, encouraging parent members to connect via group chats and social media. General meetings were held on Zoom, and the first ever virtual AGM was heralded one of the best and most moving in modern times.

International boarding and day parents came together to discuss the many emotions being experienced by graduating students. The St. Catharines Mayor spoke of the effects of COVID-19 on the city, Betty Lou Souter of the RCFG legacy, and Community Care of the effects of pandemic on our most vulnerable.

Over its 96-year history, the Guild has come up against many challenges and it has, once more, rose to the occasion.

Although many events were cancelled or altered due to the pandemic this year, the RCFG has worked hard to keep its traditions alive. It’s heartening to see that during this time of crisis, its legacy of support, strength and connection continues.

A COMMITMENT TO THE RCFG LEGACY After taking the initiative in 2018-19 to modernize the RCFG through a strategic planning process, the executive team continued to serve a second year in their respective positions. This additional time enabled the RCFG to put positive strategies into action and fortified the organization as a whole. Their ongoing commitment strengthened parent and community relations, improved the quality of programmes and modernized via social media—efforts which will strengthen its core for years to come.

CONTINUED SUCCESS ON CAMPUS AND IN THE COMMUNITY ‘Community’ being the theme for 2019-20, the RCFG continued to raise funds to support Ridley’s Annual Fund Campaign through events such as Designer Purse Bingo and the Christmas Market. Additionally, the Guild expanded outreach throughout the Niagara Region, supporting both the Paper Bag Ball and the Christmas Shoebox Initiative—important initiatives which support those most vulnerable in our local neighbourhoods.
