Alumni Honours and Awards

Just when you thought it was safe to go back to the St. James's Club, along comes another McGill Alumni Association Honours and Awards Banquet. They came from far and wide for an evening of good food and good fun. But mostly they came to honour some of the best volunteers of the year among McGill graduates, friends, faculty and staff. After the bagpipes had led everyone into the dining hall and the salmon and cake had been devoured, Alumni Association President Kip Cobbett gently roasted the award winners as he introduced them in the presentation ceremony. Everyone had a fine time, and the News is pleased to offer warm congratulations to all award winners and to thank all McGill volunteers.
