The Ties That Bind

Queen's University Principal William Leggett, PhD'69, was the guest speaker at the Tri-Universities' Forum First Annual Dinner, hosted by the Kingston branch in February. The former McGill vice-principal and graduate was sporting a hybrid McGill-Queen's tie for the occasion, thanks to some crafty McGill and Queen's alumni.

A Shot of Canadian Club New York alumni gathered for the All-Canadian Alumni Reception in October, held at the Canadian Club of New York.

Gateway to Canada

The Halifax branch of the Alumni Association held a reception at Halifax's Pier 21 last September. From the 1920s to the 1970s, the pier served as the "front door" to Canada for over a million immigrants, wartime evacuees and refugees, as well as returning Canadian troops, and has since become preserved as a Canadian immigration museum.

Pictured at the museum are Robert Flinn, BArch'62, Ruth Goldbloom, DipPE'44, Dr. Richard Goldbloom, BSc'45, MDCM'49, DipPediatrics'54, and Betty Flinn. Mrs. Goldbloom was a leading force behind the preservation of Pier 21 and took her fellow alumni on a tour of the museum.
