On Tuesday June 13, Jennifer Quaid ’87 generously opened her home to TOGA Alumnae who shared stories from their Traf days and heard about all the changes happening at Trafalgar today!  We shared a meal together in her beautiful garden and toasted to the continued success of our alma mater.

We hope to see more TOGA at our Homecoming weekend in Montreal from October 20-22, 2023.

New moments were enjoyed and memories made at Trafalgar's Annual Spring Fundraising Event on May 18, 2023. The event brought together 230 members of the Traf Community, including current and past parents, students and alumnae, current and past staff, families and friends, and donors and supporters. Attendees took a look into Trafalgar's rich history through a photo and uniform display, as well as images of the evolution of the school building over time - most fitting as we look ahead to Traf's exciting future and upcoming move to McGill Campus.

On April 4th, we will welcome several Old Girls as part of our annual Career Day.

The senior students will choose from different panels and discuss with professionals in a wide variety of fields. The day will begin with a special keynote address for all students: 4-time Olympian, 2-time Olympic medalist Jennifer Abel will talk about her career as an athlete and her post-Olympic life.

On Friday, we welcomed the Member of Parliament for Ville-Marie, Sud-Ouest, Ile-des-Soeurs, the Honorable Marc Miller, Minister of Crown, Indigenous Relations.

He was greeted by some of our Senior Students and then met with Ms. Nikidis to look at the plans for our Big Bold Move and what the next 135 years of Trafalgar could look like.

The faculty and staff from Trafalgar and McGill have been making great strides in developing the framework of the CoLab.

We are excited to share their progress with you via a new blog, where you will be able to read more about the project.
