Same Story, New Chapter: Alumni Connections Near and Far

London & Ottawa Alumni Visits Recap

Our recent visits to London and Ottawa were a wonderful reminder of what makes the Bayview Glen community so special. Reconnecting with alumni, hearing stories that span generations, and reflecting on the shared experiences that continue to shape our community long after graduation. What stood out most was the sense of connection in every room. While our school may have physical walls, the spirit of Bayview Glen reaches far beyond them, carried by each of you wherever life takes you.

Thank you to everyone who joined us and made these evenings so memorable. We are already looking forward to continuing our visits next year. Keep an eye out for our 2026 visit schedule, and in the meantime, we would love to hear from you. Where should we visit next?

Career Breakfast

Our February 26 Career Breakfast spotlighted the dynamic world of real estate, featuring Sherif Nathoo ’97 and Mackenzie Sharpe ’05. Sherif shared insights from building his own successful team and coaching with a global network, while Mackenzie offered perspective on navigating high-level commercial real estate. Together, they provided students with valuable advice, real-world experiences, and inspiration for future career paths.

Thank you to Sherif and Mackenzie for joining us as guest speakers, and a special thank you to all of our alumni who served as panellists for our 2025/26 Career Breakfast series. We are grateful for your time, insight, and continued connection to the community.

Stay tuned for next year’s lineup, and please contact me at dbrown@bayviewglen.ca if you are interested in presenting in the upcoming year.

Upcoming Alumni Reunion | May 22 & 23

We are so excited to welcome our alumni back to campus for Reunion 2026 on May 22 and 23. This year’s theme, Same Story, New Chapter, speaks to the shared foundation that connects us all, while celebrating the unique paths each of our alumni has taken since their time at Bayview Glen.

The weekend will kick off on Friday, May 22, in the evening (6:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m.) with an evening social. It is the perfect opportunity to reconnect, share stories, time to revisit familiar spaces, and settle into the spirit of the weekend. On Saturday, May 23 (10:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.), we look forward to welcoming you back on campus for a full day of celebration, including student-teacher-alumni soccer and basketball, to connect with fellow alumni and faculty, and honour milestone years.

Reunion is always a special time. It is where stories are revisited, friendships are rekindled, and new memories are made. No matter how much time has passed, there’s just something about coming back to a place that helped shape your journey.

We encourage you to reconnect with your classmates and make plans to attend together. The more familiar faces, the more memorable the experience.

We cannot wait to welcome you back for a truly special weekend.

If you have any questions, please reach out to me at dbrown@bayviewglen.ca.
