Founders Day & Volunteer Appreciation Chapel

Please join us for a special Founders Day and Volunteer Appreciation Celebration, as we come together to honour the many individuals who have generously dedicated their time, expertise, and passion to SMLS.

At the heart of this celebration, we will recognize our incredible community starting with our Legacy Mothers and daughters — families whose generations of commitment have left a lasting imprint on our School.

We will also acknowledge outstanding individual contributions within our community and celebrate the recipients of the 2025–2026 Nadine Farran-Gatti Distinguished Service Award and the 2025–2026 Life Governor Award.

A reception will follow the ceremony.

We hope you will join us in celebrating the spirit of service, leadership, and commitment that continues to shape and strengthen SMLS.

Alumnae vs Grads Dodgeball Tournament

Last year despite only a small number of alumnae, we prevailed over the Class of 2025 (just! — and with support from a few current SMLS staff). Come out on Friday, May 1 at 12:00 pm to see how the Class of 2026 measures up!

It’s not really that serious 😉 All ages and abilities are welcome (even if you’ve never played, it’s not a hard game to pick up). Have some fun as this year's Grads get their first experience with Alumnae!

REGISTRATION COMING SOON

37th Annual Reunion Brunch & Linger Longer Lounge

The 37th Annual St. Mildred’s-Lightbourn School Alumnae Association Reunion Brunch brings together generations of Millies to celebrate lifelong friendships, shared memories, and the rich history of our school. As the keystone event of Reunion Weekend, this joyful gathering is a highlight of the alumnae calendar.

Guests will enjoy a delicious brunch buffet, mimosas, and inspiring guest speakers, beginning at 11:00 am.

During brunch, we proudly recognise our five-year anniversary classes, with special acknowledgement of milestone reunions celebrating 10, 25, and 50 years since graduation. We will also present the Outstanding Alumna Award, honouring an alumna whose achievements and service reflect the spirit of SMLS.

Following brunch, we invite you to relax and reconnect in our returning favourite — the Linger Longer Lounge. This post-brunch gathering offers additional dessert, tea, and coffee, creating the perfect setting to catch up with friends old and new. The lounge will be hosted in the space currently known as the Student Lounge — a place many alumnae fondly remember as the Library.

Parents are more than welcome to join as well. We hear so many wonderful stories from past parents — let’s give them a chance to reconnect, reminisce, and celebrate alongside you.

If you have any questions please email alumnaeexec@smls.on.ca

Many of the Anniversary Classes will hold events for their class group. These are typically organized by the Class Rep(s). Information will be provided by your Class Rep.
