Alumni Winter Party
Our venue for the Alumni Winter Party 2015 was the Donnelly Hospitality Suite, a private space located above the Blackbird Public House in downtown Vancouver.
A great crowd of alumni attended the event - over 70 people ranging from the Class of 1990 to the Class of 2010. They enjoyed catching up with the many faculty members that made it out that night.

Mackenzie Davis '05
After the Oscar buzz about The Martian and the stir around the hit TV show Halt and Catch Fire, Mackenzie has been on a ride of success. With the news that Halt and Catch Fire will be renewed for its third season, we were also very pleased to find that she has been cast to star in an upcoming indie film Izzy Gets The F Across Town. What is exciting is that another Collingwood alumni is reported to be cast as well - Sarah Goldberg '03. With two alumni working together, it is sure to be a great film, and something that we will all be eagerly looking forward to.
