It was a big day in the Big Smoke on February 25, 2016 when more than 75 Acadia alumni and friends came together to celebrate Acadia Day in Toronto. It all began at 7:15 a.m. with breakfast at the National Club, where guests heard first-hand updates from Dr. Rod Morrison, Vice-President, Advancement, Dr. Ian Hutchinson, Director of the F.C. Manning School of Business, followed by feature presentation “Stay Engaged and Embrace Change” by Charlotte F. Burke, Class of 1983. At 1:30 p.m., Peter Armstrong, Class of 1995, Economics Reporter for CBC News, provided a backstage tour of the CBC, where attendees saw how the daily news is prepared and packaged for delivery to radios and televisions across Canada. Finally, Chancellor Libby Burnham, Class of 1960, and other Acadia representatives including Dr. Morrison, Executive Director of Alumni Affairs Ian Murray (’88) and Director of Philanthropy Nancy Handrigan (’92) joined guests at Grace O’Malley’s at 6 p.m. to hoist a tankard in a cheer to good old Acadia and round out the day in style!
