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? 

You won’t want to miss this timely and enlightening discussion moderated by broadcaster and journalist Valerie Pringle and featuring Joannah Lawson of The Brian and Joannah Lawson Family Foundation, David Ossip, CEO and founder of Dayforce, and the University of Toronto’s Vice-President of International, Professor Joseph Wong.
