NON NOBIS Solum

72/ Honouring LCC’s War Heroes

Built with donations and other support from alumni, LCC’s Memorial Gymnasium with its bronze honour roll plaque was built in 1921 to honour alumni who died in military service in World War I. Since then the school’s annual Remembrance Day (previously Armistice Day) ceremonies commemorating all our fallen, including from the Second World War and Korean War, have taken place in this same space. A total of 76 former LCC students lost their lives serving in these major wars.

73/ Dr. Fosbery’s Outstanding Gift

In an historic gesture, LCC’s founder and first headmaster, Dr. Charles S. Fosbery, retired in 1935 and, fulfilling his earlier promise, left the school and its future in the hands of its alumni. The memorable return visit of “The Boss” to campus in 1947 was a festive occasion featuring a gala dinner organized in his honour and attended by hundreds of Dr. Fosbery’s former students.

74/ Moms Inc.

In 1978 a small group of energetic LCC parent volunteers began a uniform and skate exchange venture that evolved into today’s LCC Store—a professionally managed retail operation that contributes all of its profits to the school’s bursary fund. The store continues to rely on the assistance of parent volunteers.

75/ Running for a Cause

Since 1983 our students, faculty and staff have participated in a Terry Fox Run that is organized by the school. The annual event held on our playing fields has raised well over $800K.

76/ Building Futures

The Lower Canada College Foundation was established in 1992 to oversee the school’s endowment funds, which today total more than $28M. Its key role is to provide bursary support to students who could not otherwise afford an LCC education.

77/ Youth Philanthropy Initiative (YPI): Empowering Change

LCC’s grade 9 students support a multitude of grassroots organizations such as Head and Hands, Generations and the SPCA. In previous years grade 10 students participated. Thanks to donations from the Toskan Casale Foundation and LCC alumni, thousands of dollars of support have been raised for a variety of worthy causes.
