Combating cancer in Caledon
The McGill Caledon Bike and Walk-a-Thon, organized by Karin Heidolph-Bremner, BCom'81, and Thomas Bremner, BA'80, is gearing up for its sixth year this coming fall. About 100 people took part in the event last year in Caledon, Ontario. A portion of registration fees is donated to the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation and lunch is provided. Contact the Toronto office at (416) 703-9795 or email for more information.
Dress for success
In March, over 350 students took part in the Alumni Association's "Backpack to Briefcase" workshops on the sorts of skills soon-to-be grads will need in the real world. Topics ranged from dining etiquette to money management and job-hunting techniques.

The icemen cameth
Herb Madill, MA'80, Michael Churchill-Smith, MDCM'83, Carole Belanger and Gaetan Poitras, cheered McGill to a victory over Wilfrid Laurier
When the hockey Redmen earned their first-ever berth in the Canadian Interuniversity Sports National Championships, hosted this year by the University of Alberta, the Alumni Association sent out a call to local graduates to ensure there would be a robust cheering section. The Redmen lost out in the semi-finals, but took comfort in the fact that their season was among the best in the club's 130-year history. Coach Martin Raymond, BEd'90, MA'96, was named CIS coach of the year, while goalie Mathieu Poitras, an engineering student, earned All-Canadian honours.

Casting stones
