Alumni Chapters
Purpose
Over the years a number of informal regional alumni chapters have developed as St Paul's Alumni commonly organize hockey teams and regional reunions on their own. We would love to help in the creation of formal regional chapters wherever there are significant numbers of alumni residing. The purpose of these chapters and of hosting alumni events outside of the Winnipeg area, is 1) to promote and maintain interest in St Paul's, 2) provide a communal network for alumni living in a particular area, and 3) to keep our graduates informed about happenings at the school.
How to Establish a Chapter in your Area

We thank Tim Kushneryk '94, Vancouver Chapter Chair, and Paul Van Walleghem '89 and Michael Boehm '92, Ottawa Chapter Co-Chairs, for accepting the challenge of establishing the first Canadian Chapters.

Vancouver Event:
President's First Annual Meeting was held on April 17th, 2008.
Thanks to chair Tim Kushneryk '94 and the hospitality of Mark Kucher '78 the first Chapter meeting was a resounding success. All attendees agreed that the influence of a St Paul's education is life changing. The stories told were moving to say the least.
Fr Fogarty encouraged all to help build and to sustain the Vancouver area Chapter and to remain connected to St Paul's by joining the online community. Both are of considerable benefit. See photo's from the event.
The next President's Annual Meeting will take place on Monday, May 4, 2009. For those who were unable to attend this year, please contact Tim to register, offer your support and to help plan your Chapter's activities.
