Merrifield Junior School Building Dedication

As a registered not-for-profit charity, our resource-rich facilities and enriched academic programming are made possible through the generosity of our families.

Alumni parent, Lane Merrifield, knows this firsthand. In 2012, Aberdeen Hall’s administration and its Board of Directors approached Lane about funding the school’s next phase of development. He found himself in a position where he could give, and so, he quietly gifted the school a donation that made a real and lasting impact. His only request was that he did not want any recognition or stewardship of his gift until after his children had left the school.

On September 21, 2022, Aberdeen Hall was thrilled to publicly recognize Merrifield’s gift with the dedication of the 'Merrifield Junior School'.

At the ceremony, Lane acknowledged the role Aberdeen Hall played in his children's, and so many countless others’ education as well as the group of school founders who came before him. “I’m standing on the shoulders of giants who made all of this happen,” he said of the pivotal families who provided significant resources in the school’s early years. “I’m honoured and humbled to have been here at a moment in time when I could make a difference.”

Thank you, Lane, for your generosity and support of our Aberdeen Hall community.
