Don Wright’s Legacy Finds a New Home
25 Bright Red Binders
When I took over the care of the NT Archives in the 1990s, they were situated in a former kitchen in the basement of the old school.

NTCI Class Rep Workshop @ Red and Grey Day
Missing the camaraderie and fellowship with classmates at NTCI?
Did you miss some people you wanted to reconnect with at the 100th Reunion in May 2012?
The Foundation knows that most strong alumni associations rely on the existence of vibrant class organizations. We know that several NT classes have been able to maintain their contacts over the years. The Foundation would like to encourage and support this concept by fostering the growth of class rep organizations.
To this end we we are sponsoring a workshop at the school for those NTCI alumni who are currently involved in organizing get-togethers for their classmates, and those who would like to have closer contact with their former classmates.
Date: Thursday, October 13, 2016 (Red and Grey Day)
Time: 4:30 – 5:15 p.m.
Location: NTCI, exact location TBA (meet in staff lounge – 2nd floor)
This workshop will be led by Martha Drake, Executive Director of Advancement, University of Toronto Schools.
If you are interested in attending this workshop or if you would like help in connecting with your classmates—and organizing a class rep organization—please contact Stan Pearl (stanpearl@rogers.com) or Lisa Cain (lisa-ian@rogers.com).
