Join us on Thursday, Feb. 19 for a celebratory night filled with community, connection and conversation!

Our evening’s program honours outgoing Board of Governors Chair Blake Hutcheson ’80, 2026 Old Boy of Distinction Mark Cohon ’85 and 2026 John D. Stevenson Award winner Charlie Sims ’80.

Our keynote presentation is an esteemed community panel on the theme of leadership. 

What unique skills and values do Canadian leaders bring across fields and specialities, both at home and in global contexts? What are the newest opportunities for Canada to export innovative leadership to the world? And how can we best use the transformational power of education to ready tomorrow’s changemakers for lives of impact?

UCC, the PO and PPO are delighted to welcome Jake Ernst (MSW, RSW) back to UCC on Tuesday, Feb. 3, for an evening information session on parenting in the age of AI. 

Jake is a registered social worker, psychotherapist and the Clinical Director of Straight Up Health, a family mental health clinic in Toronto. Jake’s parent presentation, Raising Capable Kids in the Age of AI, explores how rapid advances in AI and technology are quietly reshaping childhood, not just how kids learn, but how they develop emotionally, socially and relationally. Jake’s presentation will look at the everyday experiences kids are losing when technology does the heavy lifting, including play, risk-taking, problem-solving, group belonging and sitting with uncertainty. He will connect these losses to the social and emotional muscles children need for real life, like frustration tolerance, empathy, adaptability, and emotional regulation. Parents will leave with a clear framework for what kids still need to experience offline, practical ways to reintroduce those experiences at home and at school, and reassurance that raising capable kids in an AI-driven world is less about banning technology and more about intentionally protecting their natural growth. 

Date: Tuesday, Feb. 3
Time: 7 to 8 p.m. (doors will open at 6:30 p.m.)
Location: Weston Hall at the Prep School

This presentation is relevant to all parents with kids from SK to Year 12. All UCC parents and caregivers are invited to attend.
