How Is The Foundation Managed?By a Board of Directors.it is proposed, beginning at the Annual Meeting in 2014, that fournew Directors join the Board with four year terms. These new Directors will replace four retiringDirectors. This then will begin a four year rotation system for the Board.

This year, at the Annual Meeting in November, Lucy Marco retired after 11 years as Secretary ofthe former BCI&VSAlumni Association and Secretary since 2008 of the Foundation.

At the November Meeting, Mary Welsh (a Founding Director and President since 2003) moved onto Past President, Vice President Anne Buchanan became President, Eddy Vance assumed theSecretarys position and Cameron Johnston, C.A., continued as Treasurer, and currently there isa vacancy for the Vice Presidents position. Other Directors are Bonnie Blunt, Melodie Daboll,Marie Fanjoy, Jeff Glaves, Dave Kaminsky and Ted Oliver.

How is the Foundation Funded?

Through the generous support of interested individuals, groups, businesses, industries and, ofcourse, by the support of its former students, many of whom were launched into amazinglysuccessful careers. Many credit their success to the basic education and training they received

from their years at BCI&VS!

The Foundation has received generous support from these individuals or their businesses, as wellas other individuals and groups. The Foundation is able to accept bequests, in-kind donations,property, stocks, bonds, RRSPs, RHIFs, life insurance, annuities and to set up endowments. Allforms of financial assistance are tax deductible.

FROM THE DESK OF THE BCI PRINCIPAL

A new school year has brought a new principal to BCI. Mr. Frank OConnor retired in early July and I wastransferred to BCI as a result from Paris District High School. I have been a principal at PDHS as well asDelhi District Secondary School and a vice-principal at Hagersville Secondary School. Prior to moving intoadministration I taught mostly geography at Burford DHS and PDHS and spent 4 great years teaching at BCI.Im thrilled that my career has come full circle in bringing me back to BCI.

I knew I was coming back to a school with an outstanding reputation for academic excellence andextracurriculars. I also knew that I was coming to a school that was part of a very supportive communityand that BCI has a long and proud tradition in our community. Even knowing that, I was, and continue to beastounded by the volume and quality of activity at the school. Our staff work tirelessly everyday with ourstudents to support, encourage, motivate and challenge them academically. Our staff go well above this inproviding so many opportunities in so many areas to our students extracurricularly.

Our sports season got off to a great start even before classes started. It was a great fall season. Early in theseason our tennis team captured the junior and senior BCSSAA championship. They moved on to compete atCWOSSA and Adam Bakker has qualified to move on to OFSAA. Our cross-country team trained hard and thishard work paid off with many personal bests. Our junior boys football team made it to the BCSSAA finals

as did our senior girls basketball team. Our junior boys volleyball team captured the BCSSAA title. Wehave now moved into our winter sports season with a full slate of teams practicing and competing.

We hope that people will take advantage of the opportunity to come out to see the incredible talents ofour staff and students. Our Christmas Concert will be held on Thursday, December 12th at 7 p.m. and inconjunction with this, BCI will be hosting their first annual Craft and Artisan Fair in the upper atrium. Welook forward to a production of SpellingBee in the new year and Land of Trash in February. Ourmusical, Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, will take place in the spring.

Our staff and students have been carrying out many activities in support of our community a food drive atHalloween, Christmas Stocking presents for needy students in our community, fundraising to assist thePhillipines following Typhoon Haiyan, participation in the United Way and Movember campaigns, and this

year BCI will be holding a Relay for Life event in May 2014 in support of the Canadian Cancer Society. Ourstudents and staff demonstrate their caring and concern for others each and every day.

We know that our community wants to stay in touch with BCI. Check our website regularly athttp://www.bcivs.brantford.on.ca/

Also, I have started to distribute a regular electronic newsletter that will be sent out to our parent andschool community a couple of times a month. The newsletter is meant to provide pertinent information forparents and to inform them about what is going on at BCI. An example of that newsletter is attached. Ifyou would like to be added to the distribution listfor this newsletter please e-mail me [email protected] indicate

that you are an alumnus.

I look forward to seeing you out and aboutat BCI and to hearing from you if you haveany questions or comments.

Sincerely,Shayne Mann Principal

The doors of BCI were opened for students on March 1, 1911, andthis honourable structure has served the Brantford community eversince. However, a school is not just bricks and mortar. In 1925,Dr. A. M. Overholt, Principal, stated that the school wasdetermined by: The type of person it gave to the world; thedegree of character it moulded from the raw material entering itsportals; the boys and girls who made up its student body.

The character of the staff and student body was established veryearly in both academic and extra-curricular activities. The traditionof EXCELLENCE had been firmly rooted by the 1920s. Astory inthe GLOBE on December 22, 1930, stated that these successes

brought fame to the BCI&VS that is probably unique in theeducational history of Ontario. In 1928, 29, and 30, three former

students (Woodside, Ziegler, Day) won Rhodes Scholarships. Therewere 3 Carter scholarships in Ontario, and there were several yearsin the 1920s when BCI students were awarded all three.

The soul of the school, to the present day, has many otherelements. Participation in all sports, Xmas Assemblies, the GleeClub, drama, art, the band and choirs, etc., has become an integralpart of life at BCI. For over 100 years, what has endured at BCI is arespect for the achievement of EXCELLENCE. Many formerstudents have pursued and achieved this excellence and have madeoutstanding contributions to humanity.

In 2001, the BCI Alumni Association set down well defined criteriato identify distinguished achievers and to have recognition plaquesexhibited on a Wall of Honour. These individuals built the schoolsreputation as a centre of learning and achievement. Three maincategories were established: International, National, and Local.Each category was divided into sub-headings with clear, detailedlists of criteria. To date, the Alumni Foundation has recognized 34achievers in the International Category, and 14 in the NationalCategory.

The Research and Nominating Committee, for these distinguishedawards, welcomes your help in reaching back and identifying

former students who are deserving of recognition in theInternational, National and local spheres. Detailed criteria andNomination Forms can be found on this web site.

Any school in Canada would be proud to have these outstandingachievers as alumni, who have touched the lives of millionsaround the world. BCI is SYNONYMOUS WITH EXCELLENCE.

Members of the Nominating Committee have been proud to serve in this capacity for over 12 years.They would like to invite like-minded Alumni to step forward to carry on this important service.

Please contactwww.bcialumni.on.cato indicate your interest.
