Help Us Bring Riley Home on October 6 and 7 

 

Riley Senft

Since his May 7th start in Cape Spear, Newfoundland, Dr. Riley Senft '97 has taken his Step Into Action cross-Canada run through nine provinces, running over 5,700 km and raising over $360,000 to date in support of prostate cancer research at the Vancouver Prostate Centre, a world renowned centre of excellence. Now he's almost home!  
  
Riley is scheduled to arrive in Vancouver on October 6 at 1:00pm at the Vancouver 2010 Olympic Cauldron and in
West Vancouver on October 7 at 1:15pm at Ambleside Beach. 

Everyone is invited to come out on October 6 to welcome Riley home as he marks the official end of his run, and to join the celebration on October 7 as he runs from the Olympic Cauldron to Ambleside Beach in his home city of West Vancouver.

Coming this Fall - the new Alumni Magazine  

 

It's been a few years since we mailed out an alumni magazine. Times (and addresses) have changed and some of you have indicated they'd prefer to receive a digital copy. So we've decided to mail the magazine only to those alumni or alumni parents who request a hard copy. Everyone else will be receiving a digital version.  

 

If you'd like to receive a copy in the mail, we'd love to send one to you - just email us here by October 20 and let us know your current mailing address.  

  

We're still looking for more Class Notes for the magazine. Drop us an email and let us know what you're up to -- your classmates will be delighted to hear from you!

We're also looking for more Best Place to Eat - let us know what your favourite restaurants are in New York, Los Angeles, the UK, Toronto or Montreal.

And we're adding a fun new feature: Then/Now. Tell us what you planned on doing "back then" when you graduated from Collingwood - and what you're doing now.
