Report to Corporation

W
e knew last August that our school year was going
to be special as we prepared for the launch of our
Centenary, celebrating 100 years on Royal Avenue.
Indeed, we should take pride in a full century
dedicated to educational excellence for young men
and women from across Montreal. However, rather
than simply resting on our laurels, 2008-2009 proved
to be a busy and productive year. All members of the
school community found inspiration in our deep roots
and strong traditions. I am pleased to report that
our School is on sound footing in terms of finances,
facilities and programmes. Moreover, our board,
administration and faculty share a strong common
vision that will confidently launch LCC into its
second century.
The 2008-2009 school year was filled with too
many activities and accomplishments to cover in a
short report. However, here are a few examples that
I hope will offer you a sense of how full and exciting
LCC life is:
• Adopted & implemented, by the Board of
Governors, a new strategic plan, Our Sustainable
Future: 2009-2013.
• Productive & engaged student activities continued
whether in the Junior School, which embraced
a Chinese cultural theme, to Middle School and
graduates in grade 11 and 12.
• Students participated & succeeded in academic
contests, played on dozens of school teams,
painted, acted, debated, and built robots, amongst
other activities that indicate a broad interest in
report to DONORS 2008-2009
As we prepare to complete our Centenary year,
we should continue to take great pride in our School,
our province and our country. LCC students are
embracing the responsibility and challenge of being
leaders and engaged global citizens. As we enter
our second century, I hope we will hold true to the
vision of our founder and exhibit an active spirit of
Non Nobis Solum. It is a timeless mantra that will
continue to guide and support the development of
character in young men and women for generations
to come.

co-curricular activities which enriched students’
lives at school.
• Age-appropriate leadership opportunities &
learning initiatives available at every grade level
so that students could be challenged through
interesting active learning initiatives.
• Philanthropy & Non Nobis Solum alive and well
at LCC despite the global economic downturn.
• Implemented & committed to a new Faculty
Growth Plan that dynamically supports creative
teaching, renewal and ongoing dialogue between
professionals.

Chairman’s
Report
24 LCCLion
“Our School is in
wonderful shape.
Financially, we are sound
and working to improve
that situation even more.
More important, I believe
we are delivering a
level of academic,
co-curricular, and athletic
programmes that are the
best in our history.”
am particularly honoured to submit this, my first report as Chair
of the Board of Governors. I am honoured because we have just
completed our 100th year on Royal Avenue as Lower Canada
College, and I have the privilege to be in this role as part of a truly
exceptional team.
During this first year, we set some ambitious goals that included:
• Adopted a new strategic plan,
• Planned for our future factoring in the uncertainty of Bill 104,
• Raised funds and instilled a true sense of Non Nobis Solum,
• Established a committee to enhance the communication
programme,
• Launched Phase 2 of our Capital Campaign,
• Reviewed our facilities,
• Respected our budget and prepared a new one
In fact these are just a few amongst many other initiatives –
too many to mention here.
None of the above could have been accomplished without
the hard work and dedication of your Board. I believe we have as
motivated and competent a group as we could possibly have, and
I offer them my sincere thanks for their support and encouragement
as we tackled a large number of important issues.
Three dedicated members are retiring this year, George
Tooley ’71, Eric Dedekam ’76 and Jean Aucoin who have all offered
their time and expertise. They leave the Board having helped build
a better and stronger school.
And finally, I want to congratulate our Headmaster,
Mr. Christopher Shannon (Pre-U ’76), his Leadership team, and
the faculty and staff of Lower Canada College for closing our first
100 years on such a positive note. Mr. Shannon has made my first
year much easier and enjoyable than I might have thought and
I want to underline that I believe that the relationship between
the Board and the School’s Head is as strong as ever. There is
a strong sense of mutual respect and common purpose.
Our School is in wonderful shape. Financially, we are sound
and working to improve that situation even more. More important,
I believe we are delivering a level of academic, co-curricular, and
athletic programmes that are the best in our history. I have the
opportunity to be in the School on a regular basis, and I continue
to be impressed by the calibre of students we have, and by the
unbelievable connection those students have to their teachers and
to the other staff in the School. I am awed by the diversity of talents
we have in our student body and by the way the students embrace
all of these abilities. This could not happen without leadership from
the educators who lead the programmes and who make Lower
Canada College what it is today.

Have you read LCC’s
latest “best seller?”
The price is $25, every penny of which goes directly to supporting
bursaries for deserving students who might otherwise not be able
to afford an LCC education.
We’re referring, of course, to Denys Heward ’64’s newly-published
memoir The Bugle Sounded One Note, in which our retired History
teacher extraordinaire offers a rollicking account of LCC life spanning
six decades. Illustrated with more than 40 photographs, the book is
filled with insightful, frequently hilarious anecdotes about Denys’ days
as a student with unrecognized learning disabilities, and his lengthy
tenure as one of the School’s most memorable teachers.
