LionFest
SEPTEMBER 23–24, 2022 Save the date and stay tuned for more information about our LIONfest Reunion Weekend. We have a lot to celebrate! We are welcoming all classes (ending in 2 and 7) that are marking their milestone reunions this year. Graduating classes ending with 0, 1, 5 and 6 are also invited to celebrate their reunions that were missed due to the pandemic. It will be great to have you all back on Royal Avenue.
Class of 2003 Zoom Reunion
JANUARY 26, 2022 Since getting together in person was not possible at the time, the Class of 2003 organized their own mini-reunion. Thirty five people attended from Canada and the US. What a great turnout! If you would like to organize a gathering for your class, please let us know and we would be happy to help.
