Major Cheque Presentations:
Ottawa Branch – $10,000 to our General Fund
Ottawa Branch Contributions have always been unrestricted providing the most flexibility for the RMC Foundation to provide back to the Colleges.
Class of 1965 – $75,000 to sustain educational excellence at the Colleges by establishing the Class of 65 Centre for Innovation in Teaching and Learning (CITL)
Class of 1970 – $96,000, as their Old Brigade Entry Gift, to establish an Athletics Wall of Distinction. This permanent display honouring former athletes, teams and coaches will inspire serving cadets via visual and text-based references to increase their commitment to sports, health and well-being and more importantly raise their pride for being a member of the RMC family.

A special thank you must be mentioned for the extraordinary work of the RMC Men’s Varsity Rugby Team led by 26733 Benjamin Bennett, Team Captain. The whole team provided support for the initial setup for the evening as well as support during and after the dinner. This event could not have been as successful without these hardworking individuals. Another special mention to NCdt 26669 Anna Childerhose and 26634 Kevin Pathinather, who were instrumental in providing timely and professional support to the RMC Foundation regarding our Sponsored Cadets.
Your continued support is greatly appreciated.
