David Arditi ʼ65 Bursary

In late July, the LCC community was saddened to learn that former Board Chair, David Arditi ’65, passed away after a short illness.

A dedicated alum and volunteer, David lived our motto, Non Nobis Solum, and helped guide the school into its second century on Royal Avenue. David was a forward thinker who cared deeply about ensuring the future of LCC. A visionary and never deterred by a challenge, he led us through the second phase of our centennial campaign called Ambitious Minds—a transformative project leading to the construction of the Assaly Arts Centre. He paved the way for the 2009–2013 Sustainable Future Strategic Plan, and was at the helm when we celebrated our 100th anniversary on Royal Avenue. Clearly, his leadership and can-do spirit helped shape the modern school into what it is today.

As a former student and parent of LCC graduates, David knew first-hand the value of an LCC education. In his memory and along with his family—wife Peggy, and children Jeffrey, Jennifer, Ryan ’95, Alexandra ’06, and Brittany ’08 (Pre-U ’09)—LCC’s Board of Governors has established the David Arditi ’65 Bursary. It will be endowed in the Lower Canada College Foundation and provide direct financial assistance to a deserving student in perpetuity. David would have liked that.
