Ted Pope Day 2022
When a school values the concepts of Outdoors Every Day and Community First, what do they do? The entire school community goes skiing and snowboarding for the day!
Our students and staff travelled to Sir Sam’s in Haliburton on Sunday, February 13 and Sunday, February 27 in two sets of house groups to enjoy skiing and snowboarding in a twist on a classic LCS tradition, Ted Pope Day (this year, Ted Pope Days!).
This annual event began in 1970 and is a wonderful opportunity for us to get outside, enjoy nature through sport, and connect with each other as a community. Our students enjoyed an extension of their Winter Spirit Week as events like K-Rod and Winter Carnival were sprinkled throughout the month of February, extending the fun.

Ted Pope Day is named after an Old Boy who attended the Grove from 1939 to 1942. Ted Pope loved the thrill of adventure, and he found it skiing, mountain climbing and car racing. He was responsible for redefining the scope of downhill skiing, expanding into new areas with the addition of lifts, jumps, and inter-scholastic competition. Ted Pope joined the Navy after graduating from LCS, and he later worked eight years for the CBC as a television producer. He died in 1960 when his TR3 race car spun out of control.
