Alum Day

Ready to relive your high school days? The YHS Alum Association and York House School invite you back to campus for an unforgettable Alum Day! 

 

We have an eventful day planned for our alum and it includes talks by women's health experts, Dr. Shannon Trainor '05 and past parent Dr. Nishi Dhawan, a talk by faculty member and life coach, Amel Misbah on the power of intention, and a book reading by honorary alum and teacher, Tanya Boteju with a Q&A afterwards facilitated by Devon Taylor '02.

 

There is also a special panel discussion on careers in the sustainability sector, moderated by Glencora Twigg '95 and featuring panelists, Emaleah Shackleton '00, Siobhan Finan '15, and Lucy Gordon '19. There's also an opportunity to experiment with virtual reality through a VR demo presented by Will Mo from the YHS Tech Office. 

 

Following a catered lunch and our much anticipated 2025 YHS Alum Special Achiever Award announcement, there will be an alum/student basketball game hosted by Lisa (Tindle) Conroy '05. Rounding out the day is the Alum Day Summer Social which will kick off at the Tap and Barrel on Granville Island at 6:30 pm. Tickets for this event can be purchased on Eventbrite. Join for some of the talks in the morning or meet later in the afternoon or evening. The choice is yours.
