Home to The Grove 2022
May marked a milestone for Lakefield College School. This reunion was made even more remarkable by the number of classes we celebrated. After almost two years of being apart, we gathered to commemorate milestone reunions for classes ending in '0, '1, '2, '5, '6, and '7. As a result, over 700 community members joined us between May 27 and 29.
The weekend was full of opportunities for our alumni to reconnect with classmates, catch up with their favourite faculty, revisit the best parts of campus, and create new experiences. There were so many memorable moments from the weekend. On Friday, our (affectionately titled) “Old Boys” reunited in the Chapel for their 50th reunion and enjoyed a dinner with Anne-Marie Kee where they watched a video presentation with images of The Grove from the 1950s to the 1970s.
On Saturday, the campus was buzzing with excitement. Not only was this the first day many of our alumni returned to campus, but our Senior Girls’ Soccer team was also competing in the CISAA championship, which stirred up Grove pride in us all. Cheers, applause, and shouts of encouragement could be heard across the campus as the girls battled it out on the field, ultimately winning the game that would send them to the OFSAA championships.
Perhaps one of the most memorable moments of the weekend was the Honour Guard in which milestone reunion classes gathered with their graduating classes to join in a parade down to the waterfront. Our current students, faculty, and staff whooped and cheered in celebration, waving miniature Grove flags, doling out high-fives, and applauding alumni of all ages. The parade culminated in an opening ceremony at the waterfront in which Head of School and Foundation Anne-Marie Kee and Chair of the Board Hugh Macdonnell ’85, P ’18 shared comments and remarks followed by a flotilla of canoes and music performed by the Rock Choir.
Throughout the afternoon, the sun shone brightly and the azure skies, dotted with clouds, set the perfect backdrop for a long-awaited day of nostalgic activities.
The fun didn’t end there. After a full day on Saturday, alumni returned to the campus on Sunday morning for a brunch social where they mingled and chatted about yesterday’s events before saying their goodbyes.
