Focus on What Matters Most Se concentrer sur l’essentiel

In all organizations it’s important “to keep the main thing the main thing”. There’s debate about who should be credited with first giving life to this thought. Some say it was Henry Ford, while others believe it was either a past president of Harvard University or noted author/consultant Stephen Covey. The concept is a reminder that it is critical that we devote our time, energy, and resources to what matters most. In effective schools those priorities need to be laid out clearly in a strategic plan.

During my tenure at LCC we have implemented four separate, multi-year strategic plans, each one unique in how it enriched our school. Last year we proudly com pleted our objectives in Vision 20/20: Global Pathways, a plan launched in 2016. Now we are excited to introduce Stride Forward Boldly, a new orientation for the future. So how has LCC changed since 2016 and where are we headed?

We should be proud of the many achievements under our Vision 20/20 plan that are summarized in this issue of the LION (see p. 5). They reflected our desire to remain forward-thinking and fully prepare our students to be global citizens. This meant strengthening our communi ty’s commitment to diversity and philanthropy. We broad ened accessibility to our school by doubling available bursary funds and found new ways to celebrate diversity in all its forms. Program offerings evolved, with enhance ment of virtual tools, a stronger commitment to design and innovation, an increased consciousness around DEI (Diversity, Equity, Inclusion), and the introduction of the IB MYP framework for all students from grades 7–10. Now we begin a fresh chapter for LCC and set our sights on a new strategic roadmap that we recently unveiled. We take the plan’s title — Stride Forward Boldly — directly from our school song that has been

Dans toutes les organisations, il importe de se concentrer sur l’essentiel. Une expression est employée en anglais pour exprimer cette idée — to keep the main thing the main thing. Certains attribuent l’origine de ces propos à Henry Ford et d’autres, à un ancien président de l’Université Harvard ou, encore, au consultant et auteur réputé Stephen Covey. Quoi qu’il en soit, cette expression nous rappelle l’importance de consacrer notre temps, notre énergie et nos ressources à ce qui compte le plus. C’est pourquoi les écoles efficaces doivent définir claire ment leurs priorités dans un plan stratégique.

Au cours de mon mandat au Lower Canada College (LCC), nous avons mis en œuvre quatre plans stratégiques pluriannuels distincts qui ont, chacun à leur manière, enrichi la vie au sein de notre école. L’an dernier, nous étions fiers d’avoir atteint les objectifs que nous nous étions fixés en 2016 dans notre plan intitulé Vision 20/20: Global Pathways. Nous sommes maintenant ravis de vous présenter Avancer avec audace, qui nous donne une nouvelle orientation pour l’avenir. Alors, comment le LCC a-t-il changé depuis 2016 et quelle est notre destination?

Nous pouvons être fiers des nombreuses réalisations qui étaient prévues dans notre plan Vision 20/20 et que nous vous résumons à la page 5 du présent numéro du magazine LION. Ces réussites reflètent notre volonté de demeurer tournés vers l’avenir et de bien préparer nos élèves à devenir des citoyens du monde. Pour ce faire, nous nous sommes attachés à mobiliser davantage nos jeunes sur le front de la diversité et de la philanthropie. Nous avons élargi l’accès à notre école en doublant le montant de nos bourses et avons trouvé de nouvelles façons de mettre à l’honneur la diversité sous toutes ses formes. Nous avons actualisé nos programmes

sung by LCC students for many decades. From those roots we look to the future with four new strategic pillars and a host of priorities that will strengthen what is already a healthy and robust school. Emerging from the global pandemic, we will take steps to strengthen and enhance our shared sense of community and our culture of care. We will strive to be a magnet for top talent by offering a thriving workplace. Significant endowment growth will remain a key priority so that diversity will truly flourish in the long-term, with students coming from all corners of our city. Programs and facilities will also evolve, with an eye on green education and sustainable campus practices and protocols.

LCC remains a gender-inclusive K–12 school, with a focus on educating empathetic and engaged global citizens. Read this issue and you will be impressed by what we have been able to achieve. In our new plan, we consciously embrace the possibilities of tomorrow by striving forward boldly. Yes, along the way we will remember to adhere to the principle of keeping the main thing the main thing.

en améliorant nos outils virtuels, en renforçant notre engagement en matière de conception et d’innovation, en sensibilisant nos élèves au concept de la diversité, de l’équité et de l’inclusion (DEI) et en introduisant un cadre pour le Programme d’éducation intermédiaire (PEI) du Baccalauréat International (IB) pour tous nos élèves de la 7e à la 10e année.

Au moment où le LCC entame un nouveau chapitre de son histoire, nous nous penchons sur la nouvelle feuille de route stratégique que nous n’avons dévoilée que récemment. Pour choisir le titre de ce plan — Avancer avec audace — nous nous sommes inspirés directement de la chanson de l’école, que nos élèves entonnent depuis de nombreuses décennies. Puisant à ces racines, nous nous tournons vers l’avenir en nous appuyant sur quatre nouveaux piliers stratégiques et une série de priorités afin de renforcer une école déjà saine et solide. Au sortir de la pandémie mondiale, nous nous attacherons à fortifier et à valoriser notre sentiment d’appartenance collectif à la communauté et notre culture axée sur la bienveillance. Nous nous efforcerons d’attirer les meilleurs talents qui soient en leur offrant un milieu de travail dynamique. Nous tenons à assurer une croissance appréciable de notre fonds de dotation — cet objectif demeurera l’une de nos principales priorités. Nous pourrons ainsi contribuer véritablement à la promotion à long terme de la diversité en accueillant des élèves issus de tous les coins de notre ville. Nos programmes et installations évolueront également, puisque nous concentrerons nos efforts sur l’éducation à l’environnement ainsi que sur les pratiques et les protocoles en matière de développement durable afin d’assurer la pérennité de notre campus.

En tant qu’école privilégiant l’égalité des genres de la maternelle à la 12e année, le Collège se concentre sur l’éducation de citoyens du monde empathiques et engagés. En lisant le présent numéro, vous serez impressionnés par tout ce que nous avons pu accomplir. Avec notre nouvelle planification stratégique, nous misons consciemment sur les possibilités qui s’offriront à nous en nous efforçant d’avancer avec audace. Par ailleurs, nous n’oublierons pas d’adhérer à ce principe mentionné ci-haut: se concentrer sur l’essentiel.

Non Nobis Solum, CHRISTOPHER SHANNON (Pre-U ’76) Head of School / Directeur général

TOP 20 ACHIEVEMENTS

BY CHRISTOPHER SHANNON (PRE-U ’76) , HEAD OF SCHOOL

In September 2016, we launched our Vision 20/20: Global Pathways Strategic Plan. The three distinct pillars— diversity and accessibility, sustainable future, and teaching and learning in a new paradigm—were based on our desire to remain forward-thinking and ensure that our students are fully prepared to be active members of the world in which they live.

Our strength as a school is fueled by our philosophy that students are at the centre of our decision-making, the pride we have in our community, and our commitment to continuous improvement. Over the last six years, we have remained focused on the vision of this plan and

have worked together to achieve the goals and measure our progress along the way. The evidence of our efforts is reflected in the changes to our program offerings, evolution in our approaches to teaching and learning, growth in the diversity of our student body, and increased community commitment to philanthropy.

The unexpected changes in the global landscape, which include the pandemic, stretched this strategic plan by an additional year.

We are proud of what we have achieved together. To follow are the top 20 achievements of Vision 20/20

Stride Forward Boldly

More than 85 years after it was composed, Non Nobis Solum, our school song, remains a timeless testament to the sense of belonging and pride that we share as a community. The title, which is Latin for Not for Ourselves Alone, has been our long-standing motto, and the powerful lyrics have unified us throughout our history.

It is therefore fitting that we draw our inspiration from one line of those meaningful words — stride forward boldly — as we commit to our strategic vision for 2022–2027.

And bold we must be, if we are to effectively prepare our students for their futures in a rapidly evolving world.

With a deep-rooted focus on global-mindedness and a dedication to continuous improvement as reflected in our mission, vision, and values, we assume this responsibility both humbly and with determi nation. Now is the time to move forward with confidence, courage and purpose. This is how our students will become changemakers in their communities and beyond, and empowered to be the leaders of tomorrow.

Explore the pillars, priorities and initiatives of the plan, and join us in our efforts to push boundaries and shape the school for the next generation of LCC students.

Here is a brief description of the four pillars that will be our focus for the next five years. For details about the priorities and initiatives contained within each of these pillars, please visit lcc.ca/StrideForwardBoldly.

PILLAR

Community and Belonging

We believe that the best way to help students thrive and prepare for their futures is by immersing them in an environment that is reflective of the diverse and complex world in which they live. With our commitment to authentic learning, we cultivate relationships and a sense of commu nity and belonging where we celebrate differences, so that all members feel connected, supported, and valued for their perspectives and contributions.

PILLAR

Thriving Workplace

Outstanding faculty, supported by dedicated administrators and staff, are foundational to the success of our school and students. Our professional development and growth programs help our talented and passionate teachers and personnel deliver on our promise to guide students in realizing their full potential. We strive to be an employer of first-choice and a community of excellence serving students and families.

PILLAR

Environmental Action

Environmental action is a moral imperative. As citizens of the world, we recognize that modelling green practices is our responsibility and central to ensuring the health of our planet and humanity. Leading by example, we further our commitment to minimizing the environmental footprint of our operations and activities, and to making a positive difference. We are determined to do better no matter the challenge. We empower students by providing them with the awareness and skills they need to be leaders in the drive towards a sustainable global community.

A Bold Tomorrow

We are bold in our plan for the future and imagine an educational experience that will benefit the next generation of LCC students. We dream of access to all, and dedicate ourselves to growing our endowment so that one day this vision becomes a reality. By exploring transformational options to enhance our community and programs, we lay the groundwork for long-term financial sustainability and operational excellence.

THE STUDENT

Community and Belonging

BY SILVIA CADEMARTORI , WRITER

CLUBS AND LEADERSHIP OPPORTUNITIES HAVE BEEN AN INTEGRAL PART OF GOING TO SCHOOL FOR GENERATIONS OF LCC STUDENTS AND, OVER THE YEARS, HAVE EVOLVED ACCORDING TO THE STUDENTS’ INTERESTS.

Most recently, global events, the media and the school have increased awareness around a variety of social justice topics, and these opportunities have been taken to a new level at LCC. Initiatives related to diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) have been created in response, and are sought out by students seeking to build their identity and better understand the world around them.

These activities are aligned with LCC’s commitment to foster a sense of community and belonging where differences are celebrated, open discussions are encouraged, and the per spectives of others are valued. “We bring students together who would normally never cross paths,” says Tifa Weekes, athletics coordinator and student support. “This provides them with a safe space in which to share opinions and think critically. It also helps students to build a network of people to whom they can look for support.”

Here are some examples of how our students are focusing their energy.

Coalition of Racial Equality (CORE) Club sharing & educating. More on page 15.

SEXUALITY AND GENDER ACCEPTANCE (SAGA)

SAGA provides a confidential place for Middle and Senior School students to support each other, talk about LGBTQ+ issues, and raise awareness of homophobia. The club is open to students who identify as LGBTQ+ or who support the club’s message. They meet over the lunch hour to share a meal, hear guest speakers, fundraise, and organize events such as LCC Pride Day. “As the students try to figure out how they fit within the larger construct of school or society, it is important that they live their authentic selves. This club helps them to define who they are,” explains Ettore Zuccheroso, science teacher, who co-facilitates the club with school counsellor Veronica Kost ’09.

CREATIVITY FOR COMMUNITY

This club weaves together art and inquiry. Tatiana Phillips, English teacher, helps students explore art as activism and as a communitybuilding strategy. For example, as part of the Red Dress Project, members created a visual art piece that honours the lives lost in Indigenous Residential Schools and, on the National Day of Awareness and Action for Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls, students installed a temporary art piece within the school. Red clothing items were hung to represent the absence of the victims.

THE FEMINIST CLUB

Lily Greenspoon ’22 and Daniella Roberts ’22 (Pre-U ’23), together with the club’s faculty super visor, Barbara Hutchison, senior visual art teacher, created a space for members to discuss current and historical events that are significant to the feminist movement and raise awareness about sexism.

“Women account for slightly over half of the population, but we are discriminated against regu larly and, all too often, when young women voice these experiences, they are dismissed and remain unheard,” says Lily.

“As a result, women’s issues are frequently invalidated and overlooked,” Daniella adds. “It is a problem our club tries to counteract by presenting ample opportunities for affirmation and advice.”

GRAD PRIDE

DIVERSITY HEADS

Diversity heads are members of Grad Pride, the senior leadership team consisting of grade 11 students who are selected to organize and lead student activities during the year. They promote diversity and inclusivity throughout the school by organizing activities to celebrate a variety of cultural holidays, as well as social justice events.

COALITION OF RACIAL EQUALITY (CORE)

The CORE club meets weekly to discuss topics around race, such as identity and global events, and the need to empower and educate. The students also collaborate with other groups on initiatives such as Orange Shirt Day and Black History Month.

“Students develop critical consciousness, which gives them the capacity to analyze different situations and systems and challenge them,” says Michael Moody, CORE facilitator and student services supervisor.

Creating these types of groups and opportunities to support students as they navigate the ever-changing and complex social landscape will continue to be a priority for the school.

Thriving Workplace

Preserving the Most Valuable Resource

BY DANA KOBERNICK , COMMUNICATIONS MANAGER

SUPPORTING THE PROFESSIONAL AND PERSONAL GROWTH OF FACULTY AND STAFF, WHILE NURTURING THEIR MENTAL AND PHYSICAL WELLBEING, COMBINE TO CREATE A THRIVING AND HEALTHY WORK ENVIRONMENT. LCC RECOGNIZES THAT ITS TEACHERS, ADMINISTRATORS, AND STAFF—THE MOST VALUABLE RESOURCE—MUST NOT ONLY BE WELL QUALIFIED FOR THEIR JOBS, THEY MUST ALSO BE PERSONALLY FULFILLED AND CONTENT AT WORK IN ORDER TO FOSTER STUDENT SUCCESS. TO THAT END, THE SCHOOL HAS A RANGE OF PROGRAMS AND OPPORTUNITIES FROM WHICH ITS PROFESSIONALS CAN BENEFIT.

SUMMER STIPEND FOR FACULTY GROWTH

At LCC, faculty members are reflective, self-motivated, creative professionals who are responsive to the needs of their students. With that in mind, the school offers stipends to faculty who wish to go above and beyond the basic requirements of the programs offered in the classroom.

“Professional development is an integral part of a teacher’s career,” says Meagan Kearney, professional development coordinator. “The stipend allows them to pursue an area of personal interest over the summer, while responding to a strategic priority of the school and leading to a clear deliverable.”

The types of projects completed by teachers who have profited from a stipend are diverse. For example, summer math packages were developed to help both returning and new students be better prepared for the upcoming school year.

This project, like many others, has wide spread application, as teachers are encouraged to share their results with their colleagues across all school divisions.

FACULTY INTERNSHIP PROGRAM: A MUTUALLY BENEFICIAL RELATIONSHIP

What began seven years ago with a number of athletics interns who served as both coaches and sub stitute teachers has evolved into a comprehensive schoolwide program. Subject-based interns not only cover sporadic internal substitutions; they are also crucial resources for long-term maternity and paternity replacements or other leaves of absence.

In March 2020 the pandemic pro vided an impetus to further develop the program. “We were particularly proactive at that time, bolstering the program and hiring one intern per subject,” says Tara Murphy, human resources director. “Since we anticipated a higher rate of absen teeism, we were well prepared and better able to continue our program ming with minimal disruption to the students and, unless mandated by government regulations, avoided having to shift to virtual learning.”

LCC’s internship program is a mutually beneficial arrangement for both the school and its interns. Their presence provides the school with a great degree of support and flexibil ity, while allowing the interns to test the waters and determine if LCC is a good fit for them, should they wish to pursue a permanent position. The result is very telling, with a high rate of interns ultimately becoming part of the faculty.

A CULTURE OF WELLNESS

The school’s focus on physical and emotional well ness extends not only to the students, but to the staff and faculty as well, and it comes in many forms.

A fully-equipped fitness centre and classes, library services, and skating in the arena are just a few of the opportunities available to all staff. Adding to that is the Employee Assistance Program for psychosocial support that is accessible at no cost, medical consul tations, and a commitment to professional develop ment through conferences and graduate studies.

“As a leadership team we place importance on the need for a work-life balance and are continuously reviewing our policies and workloads, while ensuring that the needs of the school and students are met,” says Michele Owen, director of student life.

The school’s leadership has also made room for open dialogue, inciting faculty and staff to express what they feel are areas for improvement, while also encouraging them to work on self-care practices and develop strategies to manage challenges and obstacles.

The school is dedicated to maintaining a workplace where its professionals are engaged, find meaning in their work and feel a sense of accomplishment. The initiatives cited above are just a sampling, and the administration and leadership team are committed to improving and exploring best practices in this time of flux and rapid change.

AS INFORMATION AND IMAGES OF THREATS TO OUR ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH CONTINUE TO PROLIFERATE, STUDENTS HAVE DEVELOPED A STRONG SENSE OF PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY TO TAKE ACTION. THEY ARE THE FUTURE ENVIRONMENTAL LEADERS AND, AS A SCHOOL, LCC IS COMMITTED TO SUPPORTING THE NEXT GENERATION OF SUSTAINABLY-MINDED CHANGEMAKERS.

HERE ARE JUST A FEW OF THE AREAS THAT STUDENTS HAVE BEEN EXPLORING.

ABUZZ IN THE JUNIOR SCHOOL: THE BEEHIVE PROJECT

Last spring, Junior School students in grade 3 were “bee-witched and bee-wildered” as they watched the installation of a beehive next to the kinder garten building. With one queen and 7,000 bees swarming about, it was an opportunity to explain the important role they play in the ecosystem and shatter the misconception that they are inherently dangerous.

Led by teachers Marjolaine Cayouette and Margaret Roper, and with the support of Alvéole, an organization that helps schools meet their sustainability goals, students learned about the lifecycle of bees, their environmental impact and honeymaking.

“We wanted to create an ageappropriate project that would stimulate the students’ interest in the environment,” says Ms. Roper.

The project will be ongoing, as the beehive is to remain in place through the fall and winter months. “The plan is to extract the honey and share it with the community,” says Ms. Cayouette. “We hope that we can do so in a way that will allow us to raise funds for an environment-related charitable organization.”

Sweet!

Kindergarten students learn to sort their lunch into compost, recycling and garbage bins.

THE RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN ENVIRONMENTAL SYSTEMS & SOCIETIES

An integral part of the IB Diploma curriculum, the Envi ronmental Systems and Societies (ESS) course combines both science and social science to examine the scientific, ethical and socio-political aspects of environmental issues.

“Students are asked to critically assess all angles of a given issue and to prioritize their relative importance,” says Ettore Zuccheroso, science teacher. “They are then able to adopt an informed personal response and develop a strategy to address it.”

For example, in a role-play scenario, students par ticipate in a simulated town hall meeting to debate the proposed elimination of the fictional town’s recycling program. All stakeholders must weigh in and all opinions matter. “There is no right or wrong answer,” says Mr. Zuccheroso. “It’s about balancing pros and cons and accepting that consensus will not necessarily be reached.”

As part of the ESS class in 2022–2023, students are required to create a project or initiative that will reduce their ecological footprint.

A CIRCULAR ECONOMY FOR ZERO WASTE

A circular economy is a model of production and consumption where resources are retained, reused, repaired, refurbished or repurposed. It’s better for the environment and for the economy, and it is a concept that Alec Mathewson ’95, technology and design integration specialist and Fab Lab coordinator, is teaching in his classroom.

“In a linear economy, we use and then dispose of products, which ultimately end up in a landfill,” he says. “In a circular economy, however, products can be disassembled and their com ponents can be regenerated in some way. This is done by design and with intention at the manufacturing stage.”

In her circular economy project, Sienna Duarte ’23 worked through a series of prototypes to design a shirt that is eventually transformed into a tote bag and pillow. “The product is made of recycled fabrics and fabric scraps instead of brand new materials,” she says. “When its life comes to an end, consumers can return it so that parts can be salvaged and reused.”

Mr. Mathewson says that implementation of a circular economy requires collaboration from multiple stakeholders, with industry, business, designers and gov ernment working together toward the same end. For its part, LCC’s new Centre for Discovery has been structured around this idea.

Grade 10 product design presentation

TURNING THE TIDE ON PLASTIC POLLUTION

Sobering revelations are common in grade 8 science. As part of their microplastics lab, students are tasked with researching a body of water anywhere in the world, describing the source of the water pollution, and propos ing a solution.

Unfortunately, there is no shortage of options from which to choose, with so many oceans, rivers and lakes teeming with plastic debris. Adam Laurin ’25 selected the Gulf of Mexico for his project and, through his research, confirmed the presence of plastic bottles and bags. “As they decompose into microplastics, marine life is placed in danger as are those consuming the fish,” he says. “To address this, we must limit our use of plastic, replace it with other materials, and improve recycling efforts.”

“To further illustrate the scope of plastic pollution in our bodies of water, students dissolved and strained store-bought sea salt in a class exercise,” says Anne-Marie Lalonde, former LCC science teacher. “We were all shocked to discover plastic particles.”

In keeping with LCC’s strategic plan, environmental action will continue to be a primary focus both in and outside the classroom, with initiatives and activities in all school divisions.

“WE SEE THE KIDS GROW A LOT IN THESE ROOMS.”

It’s All by

BY MARK BOGHEN , WRITER

Bold Tomorrow

ONE OF THE MOST SUCCESSFUL PROGRAMS AT LCC IN RECENT YEARS HAS BEEN TUCKED AWAY IN TWO ROOMS AT THE BACK OF THE WEBSTER LEARNING ACTIVITY CENTRE. SMALL GROUPS OF STUDENTS WHO EXPRESSED INTEREST WERE INITIATED INTO THE FERTILE WORLD OF THE DESIGN PROCESS, DREAMING UP IDEAS FOR PRODUCING PHYSICAL, TANGIBLE “THINGS” AND THEN MASTERING THE TOOLS SOMETIMES CUTTING EDGE, SOMETIMES CENTURIES-OLD TO BRING THEM TO LIFE. WORKING IN A CROWDED FAB LAB AND A SINGLE DESIGN CLASSROOM, INSPIRATION BECAME REALITY.

Senior School students in the Centre for Discovery

With the introduction of the new Centre for Discovery, that pro gram is about to get a whole lot bigger.

While studies in design are often a feature of IB schools worldwide, the way that LCC is integrating it into the curriculum is a stand-out. From about 60 students a year, the program is expanding to more than 300, becoming a core part of grades 7 and 8, and about half of grade 10. Advanced design classes will be on offer for the oldest grades, along with a panoply of co-curricular activities and Junior School projects. Most of the first floor of the Webster building, including what used to be the LCC Store, has been taken over by this exciting activ ity, featuring three design classrooms and three well-stocked fabrication studios.

The shift from book learning to planning and executing concrete, three-dimensional projects often injects a massive dose of excitement and enthusiasm into the lives of students who have become accustomed to the daily patterns of education in the classroom. They learn not only how to use tools, but how to learn how to use tools, a renewable resource for life. As design and Fab Lab coordinator Alec Mathewson ’95

puts it, “this kind of creativity is about solving complex problems. Trial and error, failing and starting over, happy accidents, all reinforce key character concepts.”

The very word “tool” may need to be revis ited in this context: screwdrivers, scissors and saws, yes, but also sewing machines, five 3D printers, CNC (computer numerical control) machines, tiny microcontrollers and electronic components, laser cutters and much more. And the types of materials to work with are vast: bolts, screws and dowels; textiles, papers and cardboard; every kind of gear and cog. Even Lego pieces from countless old model sets are repurposed in so many ways, under scoring the idea that nothing need be wasted.

The possibilities are endless. Already students have produced an array of projects, ranging from the simple (stickers, T-shirts) to the complex and demanding (guitars, hyper

One project challenged older students to imagine the ways in which a simple shipping container could be used to create sustain able housing under various conditions. They designed and then produced an impressive range of architectural maquettes.

Kym Barfoot is both a design instructor and experienced classroom science teacher. “I can attest to the fact that this approach can really change the way science students approach labs…rather than trying to guess what the ‘expected right answer’ is, they begin to feel the true experimental element of the lab. We see the kids grow a lot in these rooms.”

Brimming with innovation, expression and creation, the Centre for Discovery promises countless paths to expanded minds and greater skills. Young minds will be wrestling with some truly critical thinking about how we design our world. And in the near future? Sustainable bioplastics, hydroponics, artificial intelligence, robotics — this is definitely not the LCC of yesteryear.

Meghan Rose ’02: Making This Odd World a Better Place

BY CAROLYNE VAN DER MEER, COMMUNICATIONS CONSULTANT

When Meghan Rose ’02 graduated from LCC, she wasn’t exactly sure about the path forward. But she was clear on two things: that she wanted to give back and that LCC gave her the confidence to find her way.

After earning a philosophy degree from McGill University in 2007 Meghan moved to Toronto, where she worked for a public relations firm for a few years before deciding to embark on an MBA at York University’s Schulich School of Business. At that point, she knew she wanted to come back to Montreal after graduate school, so she decided to accelerate the process, quit her job and returned to class full time. And when she came back home, many of the puzzle pieces fell into place.

“I wasn’t entirely sure of what I wanted to do, but things have a way of coming together,” she says. A good friend and LCC schoolmate, Natanya Khazzam ’02, asked her to come on board at her home textile firm, where Meghan has been handling marketing and product development for 10 years now. It was the right fit.

“Apart from having children—which was very important to me—finding other ways to make this odd world we’re living in a better place has always been at the top of my list.”

Since 2016, Meghan has been working with the Young Professionals Group at St. Mary’s Hospital, helping organize large fundraising events such as the annual Wonderball. “My sister Caitlin ’99 is on the board there and I was happy to get pulled in,” Meghan explains. Of course, events came to a standstill due to the pandemic and Meghan looks forward to this event gaining momentum again.

And then, a couple of years before the pandemic hit, Meghan was approached by the Nature Conservancy of Canada (NCC) to be on the organization’s regional Quebec board. “One of my responsibilities is to manage a young offshoot committee of the board—the Emerging Leaders Circle—where we encour age the 20s and 30s age group to get involved.

“Try to use your privilege for the greater good—that’s the advice I’d give to today’s LCC graduates.”

They might not have money to donate but they have time, and we encourage them to learn and take initiative.” Meghan believes deeply in the NCC’s goal of conserving 30% of Canada’s lands by 2030 and wants to see territories and animals across the country protected. She has networked extensively for the NCC, resulting in increased awareness and significant financial support.

When she considers LCC in the grand scheme of things, Meghan knows her edu cation has played a huge role in who she has become. “I had some great teachers who really inspired me,” she says, “and I was also very involved in sports. The confidence I gained showed me that I can do anything I want to do. LCC helped me truly define and follow my path.”

Meghan also credits a supportive family and is working hard to create the same environ ment for her own kids, Joey, 5 and Julian, 18 months. “I am a fortunate person,” she says. “And when you come from a place of privilege, it’s important to think about how you can make a difference. Try to use your privilege for the greater good—that’s the advice I’d give to today’s LCC graduates.”

Robert Salomon ’88 Perseverance & Dedication Line the Road to Success

BY DANA KOBERNICK COMMUNICATIONS MANAGER

Unwavering perseverance has been the guiding principle for Robert Salomon ’88, through what he describes as a tumultuous personal and professional journey. His father, always seeking the best for him, sent Robert to LCC in grade 5. While he flourished in the athletics program, it became clear that he lacked disci pline and some of the skills needed to thrive academically. However, with support from faculty, he quickly learned what it takes to be successful in the classroom and, at the end of that first year, received the award for most improved.

Despite the solid foundation built during his years at LCC, the road ahead was not smooth for Robert. Following grade 11 he went to a college preparatory school where he captained the football and hockey teams, and was poised as a top hockey recruit for two Ivy League universi ties. Unfortunately, a difficult senior year hockey season quashed these possibilities and led Robert

( Meghan Rose ’02 continued)

“At a time when most people around me thought I should simply give up and move to a more stable and secure career, I forged ahead.”

to a small liberal arts college in the US, where he descended further into a state of anxiety and depression.

But Robert persevered, intent on reevaluat ing and redefining his sense of value. “Until that point, my self-worth was based on my athletic prowess and the potential to attend a Division I school and play professional hockey,” he says. “With that identity beginning to fade and my mental health taking a hit, I decided it was time to come home to Montreal to focus on my well-being and, through ther apy, explore some of the issues that I had been struggling with.”

While at McGill University, the ambition to play competitive hockey was still alive, but eventually was extinguished when he sus tained an injury that ultimately required back surgery. Robert found himself at a crossroads after graduation and joined with a partner in launching a promotions and marketing com pany. Though experiencing moderate success, a large business deal went south, shattering his self-esteem once again. He forced himself to take an acting class in the hopes that it would help him to regain his confidence and bring him out of his depression, and that is where he crossed paths with a professional in the film industry. This connection was the impetus for what has since become a successful and fulfill ing career in film and television production.

Now living in Los Angeles, Robert has experienced many of the ups and downs that are typical of the entertainment field. Starts and stops, triumphs and successes, alongside rejections and dead ends have characterized his professional life as a writer and producer. He has won TV festival writing and direct ing awards, and collaborated on a television project with Tom Hanks and HBO, which unfortunately didn’t make it to air. He was also involved in numerous projects optioned by pro duction companies, such as Lorne Michael’s Broadway Video (Saturday Night Live), Sugar23, founded by Academy award-winning producer Michael Sugar, and Muse Entertainment, launched by Michael Prupas, father of fellow alumni Jesse ’95 and Aren ’98. His career has included forays into both scripted and

non-scripted productions, and he is now experi encing a professional high point. Not only is he developing his own projects and working on a steady flow of network shows, the non-scripted television series, Love on the Spectrum, for which he serves as senior field producer, won three creative arts Emmy awards in 2022.

Robert hopes to shed light on mental health issues through this show and others. To this end, he also launched a mental health podcast called mindframe: where shift happens, about shifts in perspectives and serendipitous experiences that change people’s lives. “I want to add value by giving hope to people who feel that they are in hopeless places, destigmatizing mental illness, and spreading awareness of inclusion,” he says. “In this respect, I am most proud of the ability I have developed to connect with people and make them feel comfortable enough to be vulnerable and share their stories.”

Robert says that he has finally found a real sense of peace and happiness, particularly given that he is creating meaningful projects and has a rich and fulfilling family life with his wife and two children.

“At a time when most people around me thought I should simply give up and move to a more stable and secure career, I forged ahead,” he says. “I was knocked down so many times and my limits were tested, but I got back up again, experienced significant growth, and discovered a life of meaning and purpose.”

ATHLETICS WRAP-UP

Varsity Girls Soccer

WRAP-UP

BY CHRIS VIAU , Director of Athletics

Athletics offerings and team sports made a comeback in the 2021–2022 school year. Students and coaches alike were thrilled to be back in the gym, on the ice, and on the field. Here are the top ten moments and achievements in athletics:

Football

Football continues to regain the luster of the glory days of the sport at LCC. This year, we had close to 90 players participating in the program. Both Juvenile and Cadet teams completed undefeated regular seasons and won their respective City Championships. The Juvenile team championship run featured an extraordinary comeback win in the semifinals that was sparked by tough defense and a memorable trick play on offense leading to a game-changing touchdown.

Girls Flag Football

The Girls Flag Football program had an incredible spring season. After a two-year gap, the girls were back with a vengeance! Three of our five teams finished first in their division with two of them advancing to the finals. Unfortunately, our Juvenile Girls lost a hard-fought battle in the championship game. However, the grade 8 Bantam team won the GMAA Championship.

Girls Basketball

Our girls dominated basketball last year, with a 35-4 record. The Junior Varsity team ended the regular season with an 8-1 record, losing in the league semi-finals. The Bantam team won the City Championship with an undefeated record, the Midget Girls were league finalists after completing their own undefeated regular season, and the Varsity Girls team capped off an historic year by winning the City Championship after losing only one game all year.

U15 Hockey Championship

The U15 Division 1 Hockey team had an extraordinary year. Playing in the most competitive league in Quebec, our boys managed to win the first hockey championship in a decade. It came down to a shootout in the final game of the season, in which we averted a goal to complete the title run.

Fall Season Participation

After two years of restrictions imposed by the pandemic, our student-athletes came back in droves this fall. Some 435 students from grades 7 to 12 participated in the athletics program, making it one of our busiest seasons ever. Well over 80% of the student body was involved in athletics in the fall season alone. We had enough studentathletes to form five girls’ soccer teams, five boys’ soccer teams, two football teams, four flag football teams, five volleyball teams and had over 20 cross-country runners.

Bantam Boys 1 Soccer

The Bantam Boys Soccer team was destined to win a championship. They qualified for the playoffs in the last regular season game and went on to win all three of their playoff games in overtime. It was an exceptional year for a resilient group of boys who simply refused to lose when the stakes were high.

Tennis

After two years without a tennis season, the LCC Lions came roaring back, winning three out of the six City Championships. The Midget Girls, Juvenile Boys and Juvenile Girls teams all captured the GMAA banners.

Championship Runs

LCC teams had a phenomenal year. In total, the teams participated in 12 championship games and took home 10 banners.

Individual Achievements

Jessica Hyland ’21 (Pre-U ’22) won gold in 3000m, 1500m, 800m, silver 400m and aggregate at the GMAA track meet. She also won gold in the GMAA Crosscountry competition.

Riley Williams ’26 was the aggregate winner in the GMAA track and field and the MVP in the basketball finals.

Kiana Jarrah ’26 won gold in Midget Tennis (grades 9–10).

Lauren Gurberg ’23 won gold in Juvenile Tennis Singles and Lauren Steinberg ’23 and Sophie Miller ’23 took home the gold in Juvenile Doubles.

Ari Sinyor ’23 and Ashok Krishnan

Claveras ’24 won gold in Midget Doubles, and Tommy Papagianopoulos ’23 and Dusty Koifman ’23 won silver.

Henry Potter ’22 and Andrew Douek ’22 won gold in Juvenile Boys Doubles Tennis.

Honorable Mentions

The Juvenile Girls Soccer team won the Stanstead tournament.

The U13 Hockey team (photo top right) was second in the league, the top eight at provincials, and finalists in two tournaments.

The Varsity Boys Basketball team played in the finals of the Ed Meagher Tournament at Loyola, and the semis in the GMAA league.

Five teams and 70 players participated in volleyball and Midget 1 went to the semis.

Congratulations to all of our exceptional athletes for an amazing year!

Report

Message from the Head of School & Chair of the Board of Governors

on limitations and more on exploration and growth. Although we did experience pandemic restrictions during the winter term, we responded by extending traditional winter team sports well into the spring. Along with it came several exciting championships in basketball and hockey, as well as in traditional spring sports such as flag football and tennis.

We extend our thanks and appreciation to our faculty and staff. This includes people both in and outside the classroom. Personnel from reception, facilities maintenance, the LCC Store, the IT team, and other support staff are the critical human infrastructure that help makes our school function effectively. We place a strong emphasis on keeping a human face on learning and the student experience. Parent volunteerism from afar also supported this effort in unique ways. It was by our full community coming together that we were able to have a notable impact on the lives of our students.

Despite our need to continue navigating the pandemic with a keen eye on community safety, the 2021–2022 school year was the beginning of a community renaissance. We said farewell to the most restrictive COVID protocols and returned to more regu lar school activities and campus life. This contributed to an enhanced sense of community and truly enriched the lives of our students.

At the start of the year, educators across Canada and the United States expressed deep concern about sig nificant “pandemic learning loss” and skill deficiencies at all grade levels. However, our approach to recovery was to begin by highlighting students’ strengths. Rather than focusing on what our students didn’t know, or material missed, our teachers and advisors concentrated on reason and empathy and helped to build students’ knowledge and skills over time in a positive manner. Our commitment was to meet students where they were at, and support them to move forward and gain confidence in a purposeful way. For the most part, we believe we were very successful at reaching this important goal. In the fall our campus had a kind of festival feeling after school and on weekends. Students revelled in the long-awaited return of athletics and various inter-school tournaments and competitions in activities such as robotics, debating, and Model UN. The focus was less

Enrolment remained at record levels. There has been considerable interest in the merits of the IB approach, and interest in the Diploma Programme contributed to our largest Pre-U class ever (75 students). Our financial position also remained strong, with reserves meeting and exceeding the suggested ISM (Independent School Management) target.

Thank you to all Board members for their leadership and commitment to supporting LCC. Together we wrapped up a very successful six-year strategic plan, Vision 20/20: Global Pathways. We increased our financial endowment significantly (more than doubled in five years) and have been able to recruit a more diverse student body. Doz ens of high school students from all corners of our city now receive significant financial bursaries of 50–100% of tuition. Community participation in the annual giving cam paign has also grown significantly, allowing for enrichment in programs and facilities and support of bursaries.

In the fall of 2021 we surveyed our key constituents, after which our Board and leadership team worked with ISM to develop a new five-year strategic plan. This new plan — Stride Forward Boldly — was launched in September 2022 and is the theme of this issue of the LION. It is indeed a bold plan, and it will guide LCC to reach new heights through to 2027.

In terms of curriculum, we are proud to be the only English high school in Montreal to offer both the IB Middle Years and Diploma Programmes. We are certainly richer and more focused with this curricular evolution and

In 2021–2022 we deepened our commitment to diversity, equity, inclusion and belonging. This included staff training, themed events, guest speakers, assembly presentations and a rich array of classroom activities centred around these important topics. We look forward to keeping this important dialogue fresh and relevant.

Our commitment to student and community wellbeing was solidified by taking concrete action. Teachers for the youngest grades have been emphasizing socialemotional learning (SEL), employing a well-regarded program called Zones of Regulation. Later Junior School grades have implemented the Umbrella Project, building on this emotional work and introducing skills like resilience, realistic optimism and growth mindset. In the Middle and Senior Schools, we introduced and embraced a well-being framework called the PERMA-V model, developed by psychologist Martin Seligman at the University of Pennsylvania. It is a useful approach to helping students thrive and flourish, especially on the heels of the experiences resulting from the pandemic. We intend to continue developing the application of the framework further in the years to come.

Despite COVID restrictions, we maintained our strong focus on the spirit of Non Nobis Solum and development of student service. At all levels we raised both awareness and funds for a host of social causes in our city, and conducted our annual Junior School toy and high school food drives, among many other initiatives. As always, students learned about the importance of social justice and offered concrete help wherever they were able.

A very special thanks to our graduating students in grade 11 and Pre-U for their resilience throughout the pandemic. We are impressed by their leadership, role-modelling, and many achievements. We wish them well in their post-secondary studies and beyond.

After three years of shifting COVID restrictions and a host of educational challenges, we should be very proud of our community’s spirit and resolve. Students and staff were notably engaged in finding creative ways to thrive and flourish.

transformation. In our primary school, enhancements to literacy development and project-based learning are notable achievements.

Report to Donors

A GIVING COMMUNITY

Last year we hosted events both virtually and in person as permitted. With a total of 40 events, we connected with 1,418 LCC community members and it was heartwarming to come together once again. We also appreciated the continued financial support in making positive changes for the school and its community.

Thank you for believing in LCC!

The Impact of Participation

LEGACY GIFTS IN HONOUR OF GRADUATING CLASSES

Every year, grade 6, 11 and Pre-U parents are invited to participate in annual giving by contributing to their respective Class Bursaries, named funds that will provide direct financial assistance to a stu dent in perpetuity. Together, they celebrate their children’s achievements and ensure that their class remains united in a legacy of Non Nobis Solum helping others receive the wonderful LCC experi ence they were so fortunate to enjoy.

Visit www.lcc.ca/alumnigiving for the complete list of alumni participation (per class).

In the past seven years, over $3M was raised for annual giving programs. You made a difference!

CAMPAIGN

The funds raised for The Power of Possibilities Bursary Campaign make an LCC education a reality for students who would otherwise be unable to attend the school. By creating a perpetual financial stream, it bolsters the LCC endowment and fulfills dreams. THANK YOU to alumni, parents, past parents, grandparents, retired and current faculty and staff, and friends who came together and donated a total of $10M+. This will provide approximately 36 students with an average of $14K per year in perpetuity.

Receiving a bursary has had a significant impact on my life by giving me the opportunity for meaningful learning and to become a stronger student. My confidence has grown and I continue to discover all that I am capable of… I am grateful to those who generously give.”

STUDENT

When I see my daughter thriving at school — working with teachers and an advisor she adores, playing sports with devoted coaches and teammates, joining clubs, playing trumpet and absorbing every facet of her LCC experience with enthusiasm and pride — I am reminded of how lucky and deeply grateful we are for this opportunity. This is a gift that will impact the rest of her life”.

OPENING DOORS TO AN LCC EDUCATION

I know that tuition is not affordable for many people, so I agreed to put my name forward to help raise funds for bursaries. I’m really pleased that two more children can now benefit from the same LCC experience that I did, as did my children: Emily ’11, Jonathan ’12 and Julia ’16. Many thanks to those of the Class of 1977 who donated so generously!”

BY WENDY SINGER , WRITER

When Chris English ’77 began his studies at LCC in grade 7, he and his family had just moved from rural Hudson where he was a star hockey and baseball player. It didn’t take him long to realize that he would need to step up his game in order to compete and succeed in athletics and academics at the school.

He credits LCC for providing him with a strong founda tion and the tools that fostered intellectual rigour, which helped him overcome adversity in his life and career. The support of class and teammates David Garfinkle ’77 (Garf), Tom McKeown ’77, Phil Belec ’77, Jim Phills ’77 and Randy Aziz ’77 was invaluable to him. “We were a crew that grew up together and remain friends to this day,” says Chris.

After graduating from Vassar College, Chris worked at J.P. Morgan in New York City and he has owned and operated several minor league baseball teams. Following years on Wall Street, he founded and currently serves as the CEO of RockFence Capital, a fund manager and capital solutions provider for elite MLB, NBA, and NHL players.

Several years ago, the LCC crew banded together again to create an endowed fund that supports a student who requires financial aid to attend LCC. At their 40th alumni anniversary in October 2017 they launched The David Garfinkle ’77 and Class of ’77 Award.

The fund is named in honour of David, who suffered a spinal injury in 2014 while surfing in Hawaii. “What was important to Garf in putting his name on the fund, and

therefore important to me and everybody else, was that it would create opportunities for students who would otherwise be unable to attend the school and to benefit from the LCC experience,” shares Chris.

Chris is all too familiar with the significance of a bursary of this kind. When he attended LCC, his parents had divorced and the family was experiencing financial difficulties. “My mother was a nurse who worked double shifts and, although I didn’t know this until after I graduated, my sister, who was a financially-strapped PhD student, helped fund most of my LCC education,” he says.

Those early years at LCC were not easy for Chris. “I left all my friends in a small town and was intimidated by attending a larger school that was much more demanding. Garf took me under his wing and was instrumental in helping me develop the skills I needed to succeed and stand up for myself. Plus, he made me a marginally better hockey player!”

Now years later, Chris is still inspired by Garf. “Following the accident, he demonstrated such resilience. He is exactly who he has always been — a great human being and a great leader.”

This year, David and the Class of ’77 have raised enough funds to support a second student, thanks in part to Chris, Phil and Tom, who provided matching funds to reach that goal.

“LCC has always offered an amazing combination of aca demics, athletics and arts. I think the mission is incredible. The school is nurturing global citizens, which we greatly need,” says Chris. “We will follow our recipients through their education and look forward to seeing what they do with their lives.”

“ LOWER CANADA COLLEGE HAS DONE WONDERS FOR OUR DAUGHTER. SHE WAS A SHY, TIMID AND INSECURE YOUNG GIRL WHEN SHE STARTED AT LCC AND IS NOW A CONFIDENT AND BRIGHT YOUNG TEEN. LCC HAS A BIG PART IN OUR HOME AND WE ARE VERY PROUD TO BE LCC PARENTS.” — SABRINA GUARASCIO

Sloyd: & WOODWORKING CLASSES OVER THE YEARS

BY JANE MARTIN , LCC ARCHIVIST

Barely mentioned in LCC’s written his tory, woodworking classes called “Sloyd” began in the school’s first decade and continued until c. 1960. Older alumni may recall the “Sloyd Room” in the basement, where they learned to use basic hand tools under the supervision of faculty members Walter McBroom, and later Rev. Frank Gilmore.

The name “Sloyd” was derived from the Swedish slöjd , meaning handiwork or crafts, and refers to a once well-known program of manual training for school children that was developed in Sweden in the late 19th century. Spreading quickly to England and North America, it was an ambitious concept that required specially trained instructors and proper equipment and

space. Not intended as vocational training, the program viewed the development of specific hand skills as an aid to character-building and the mental and physical development of the whole person.

Now we can only speculate to what extent the original concept of Sloyd was adopted at LCC, and for how long it was maintained. After its impressive start, the Sloyd movement had fallen out of favour in Canada by the end of the First World War, whereas some form of woodworking or carpentry instruction was maintained at LCC for decades. We conclude that the term “Sloyd” at the school became a lingering anachronism, with its origin largely forgotten today.

REACHING

ROCK STAR STATUS

IN 36 HOURS

BY NANCY ESSEBAG-CHRISTIE , COMMUNICATIONS & DIGITAL MARKETING SPECIALIST

After two years of COVID-19 cancellations and Zoom events, LCC students, staff and faculty were beyond eager to celebrate the annual house competition, SHOURAWE. With a focus on fun and team-building activities, many alumni would agree that SHOURAWE was a major highlight of their LCC experience.

To mark the epic comeback of a united SHOURAWE (not divided in cohorts like the previous year), LCC’s advancement team developed the school’s first-ever, 36-hour community building and fundraising event: The Rock YOUR House Giving Challenge.

Funds raised from the challenge supported the muchneeded expansion of our current Design & Innovation Centre, renamed The Centre for Discovery, and boosted

the bursary program, which provides future LCC ‘rock stars’ with an opportunity to benefit from all the school has to offer. (Read more about The Centre for Discovery on page 24.)

The rules were simple: one house point was earned per donor no matter the amount. All donations were matched dollar for dollar up to a total of $45K. The house with the highest number of points by the end of the 36-hour challenge won.

On launch day, our rock star volunteer committee and advancement team woke up bright and early, setting up outside to welcome parents at school drop-off with an appreciated cup of coffee. A rainbow of house flags lined the fences on Royal Avenue and our LCC lion mascot was on hand adding to the energy on campus.

Junior School students, sporting their house-coloured bandanas, were excited to participate in a Rock Paper Scissors competition in the school gym. Online donations quickly came in with “Go House Go!” comments and words of encouragement on our Instagram live segments.

The final 12 hours of the challenge coincided with SHOURAWE on the field. In keeping with tradition, students covered themselves in paint and participated in a series of competitions. From tug of war to potato sack races and the traditional Baillie Run, the crowd was roaring with fists in the air.

SHOURAWE activities were officially over, but four hours of the Rock YOUR House Giving Challenge remained.

Donations were pouring in right down to the wire and we closed out at 8 pm sharp with 610 gifts totalling $109K. Beveridge House may have won the challenge (by one point!) but, in truth, we all came out victorious. We can look forward to having our students stretch their imaginations in our new Centre for Discovery, and we will create more opportunities for students to attend LCC through our bursary program. SHOURAWE was never just about competition between houses… It’s also about the bonds that will last a lifetime and memories made looking back at a time well spent at LCC. Nine LCC houses for one awesome community. Until next year, LCC!

SEPTEMBER 23-24, 2022

LCC’s annual homecoming weekend took place with over 350 people in attendance. After a two-year hiatus due to the pandemic, alumni were excited to celebrate, reminisce and enjoy the camaraderie. They participated in tours, sang Non Nobis Solum with pride, and honoured the three classes from 1970, 1971 and 1972 celebrating their 50th reunions as they were piped into the event, a longstanding LCC tradition. Special mention to Ken Hague ‘70 who worked to get 50 of his classmates back to Royal Avenue for the celebration — the most ever for a 50th reunion!

The Non Nobis Solum Medal was awarded posthumously to Robert de Fougerolles ‘57 and graciously accepted by his son Tony de Fougerolles ’82. Robert’s service to the LCC community spanned six decades and he will be missed by all.

On Saturday, the field was full of action as four teams and 50 players participated in the annual alumni soccer tournament, organized by former Middle School Director Rob Tipney. Thanks to all those who came out and made the weekend so memorable.
