Class of 2002 10 Year Reunion 
On November 2, over 80 alumni, guests and faculty attended the 10 Year Reunion of the Class of 1992 at The Clough Club in Gastown. They were welcomed by Headmaster Rodger Wright, Head of Wentworth Ian Kennedy, Roger Hatch, Susan Hazell and Shelley Williams of the Advancement Department, and current faculty Michelle Embury, Dave Speirs and Duncan Fraser. It was wonderful to see alumni coming back from Asia, the UK and USA and from across Canada for their 10 year reunion.

Do these pictures bring back fond memories?
Are you interested in forming a Collingwood Alumni rowing group?
Then we would love to hear from you!
We've got an alumni rugby event and an alumni field hockey event . . . why not have an alumni rowing event? If you're interested in pursuing the idea, please contact Duncan Fraser at Collingwood. He's keen to get something going!
