Word of thanks from Steve Philip After more than 30 years of volunteering our time to the Quebec High School Foundation, this past June, four long-standing members of the Foundation’s Board of Directors decided to pass the torch to a new and upcoming generation. These members are Patsy Henderson, Beverly White, Caroline Reny, and myself. It was a pleasure to work with past and present board members. We have always tried to help promote the school and to support projects and provide materials designed to help give students a step up. On a personal note, I would like to take this opportunity to thank Patsy, Beverly and Caroline for their dedication and for the countless hours volunteered to help administer the Foundation and to keep it running smoothly. You can be proud of what we have accomplished over all these years. I would also like to thank our Satellite Directors, who have spent years networking with the membership and who have communicated all the news, happy or sad, to the Board of Directors. Finally, thank you to the Alumni family for your continued support and interest in your high school and each other. Please know that your donations over the years have
gone a long way to support students and staff. Thank you for letting us be part of this journey. Steve Phillip

Word from the Alumni Administration Team Dear Quebec High School Alumni,
As we look back on another wonderful year, we want to extend a heartfelt message of appreciation and gratitude to each of you who has continued to contribute to the Quebec High School Alumni Foundation. Whether through donations, volunteering, or simply staying connected, your support makes an enormous difference for current students and the broader school community. This past year, we experienced a notable transition within our Foundation’s leadership. Four of our beloved directors – Steve Philip, Patsy Henderson, Beverly White, and Caroline Reny – have decided to step down after years of dedicated service. Steve Philip, who has served as our president, brought a vision and commitment that will leave a lasting impact. Patsy, Beverly, and Caroline have also been invaluable pillars of our Foundation, giving countless hours and unwavering support to foster a strong connection between alumni and the school. On behalf of the entire community, we extend our deepest thanks to each of them for their contributions, leadership, and enduring passion for Quebec High School. While we bid farewell to these exceptional leaders, we are pleased to welcome new members to our Foundation board. These new directors bring fresh energy and ideas, as well as a shared commitment to continue the legacy of supporting our students. Our Foundation remains as strong and dedicated as ever, focused on advancing the programs and resources that directly benefit our students. With your support, we are excited to pursue new initiatives that will enrich the student experience at Quebec High School. Please know that your contributions continue to have a significant impact, helping us empower future generations and maintain a vibrant school community. Thank you once again for your dedication and generosity. Together, we ensure that Quebec High School continues to thrive, and we are immensely proud to count you among our alumni family. From your Alumni Foundation Team

QHS Teacher helps Laval University Men’s Basketball Team capture the national U-Sports title
When QHS teacher, Marc Collier walks down the hall he normally turns a few heads. Not just sideways, but upwards as well! At six foot nine inches tall it is impossible not to see him coming in your direction. In 1942, when they opened the present location of QHS, the architects did not plan on needing door frames that high to accommodate a staff member that tall. Born and raised in Winnipeg, Manitoba, he attended
River East Collegiate. He was a student athlete at a large school, with a big sports program. Flash forward a few years and Marc completed his B.A. / B.SC. and B. Education degrees at the University of Manitoba. He then went on to University of Victoria to finish his Masters degree in Coaching Studies. Marc is in his 9th year of teaching, and he has taught Kindergarten through to Grade 12. This is his 2nd year at QHS. Marc and his fiancee were living in Winnipeg, where she worked as a nurse for Indigenous Affairs Canada. After 5 years of living in Winnipeg, they figured it was time to make a change and move closer to her family. They
arrived in the summer of 2022 and after searching for a place to buy, they decided that they would build. There was another reason for Marc to come to Quebec City- a potential coaching job with Laval University. He felt it was time to get back into U-SPORTS after his experiences in Winnipeg.

A secondary 1 student stops in the hallway to stretch up and say hi to Mr. Collier before the start of another QHS day!
Laval head coach, Nathan Grant played at the University of Winnipeg. Marc had spent two years on staff with the UofW and spoke with his colleague about Grant. Coming to Quebec City, Marc made some inquires and reached out to explore the opportunity of coaching at Laval. He interviewed for a position and was offered an assistant coach post with the Laval men’s program. Coaching was always in Marc’s DNA and his love of coaching started young. When he was 15 years old, he suffered an injury to his knee. His younger brother, 12 years old at the time, was playing for a team that needed a coach, so Marc stepped in to help coach, and he says he has been coaching ever since. Marc’s Summary of the USPORTS National Championship Laval University Rouge et Or were selected to host the 2024 USport National Championships. Below is Marc’s summary of the Championship week. We had an up and down end to the regular season and eventually lost to Concordia in the RSEQ semi-final. We knew that unless we were conference champions we would be the 8 seed; and the coaching staff knew that it was pretty much a guaranteed match-up against Victoria who was, more or less, the best team in the country all year long. During the week between the bracket being released and our first game on the Friday night, it was more or less business as usual. We kept the same routine and wanted to make sure that we were in a rhythm going into the game. We knew that we had a chance and had some match-ups in our favor, but with their roster which included the national player of the year, would be handful. We also knew that we had a huge home-court advantage. The PEPS is usually pretty full for a regular season game, but for all three of our games it was sold out, standing room only. We have the best fans in the country and they showed up in some huge numbers. Every bucket that we scored was followed by a huge wall of sound just coming down. We ended up winning against U.Vic. by 6. I had already started scouting Dalhousie earlier in the week (who would end up winning their game and thus being our opponent) and I liked our match-up for the national semi-final. The mood in the room was calm after our game, the guys were excited that we won but we knew that it was back into the frying pan the next night. At nationals everyone is good, really good and no games are ever guaranteed. We had just beaten the Canada West Champions and next we would see the AUS champs; so we knew that it was going to be a war. We ended up controlling most of the game, and won by 11. Afterwards it was the same deal; everyone was happy, excited but calm at the same time. Getting to a national final is a really big deal. We wanted the guys to enjoy the moment that might never come again, but also to know that we were 40 minutes away from finishing the job. We had actually played Queens in our first exhibition of the
season back in September, and lost by a bunch - but we also had a couple injuries and were coming a season where 70% of the roster had changed from the year before. The game was back and forth, with Queens eventually taking the lead by 1 (I think) with about 90 seconds left. We then hit two huge threes and got a couple timely stops, then it was the free-throw game to finish it off. The celebration that followed was a blur, it is definitely one of the best moments of my life and something that I will cherish forever.
Marc is enjoying working with the WOTP (work oriented training program) students and has been encouraged by their progress over the school year. He hopes that he will be able to continue teaching this program in the years to come.

Freshmen Class Conquers Mont-Ste-Anne by QHS Student Life Teacher, Fannie Marsh
Every year at QHS, we open our doors to the incoming Freshmen Class, our secondary 1 or grade 7 students. Every year, many of them have that “deer-in-the-headlights” look. They have left the confines of elementary school where they were the kings and queens of the hill. Now, entering QHS they find themselves starting all over again at the bottom of the hill looking up! For many of the readers, you may or may not know that Quebec High School now has 6 feeders schools sending students our way: Ste-Foy Elementary, Holland Elementary, Everest Elementary, Portneuf Elementary, Valcartier Elementary, and New Liverpool Elementary (once called St. Vincent’s Elementary). The challenge we have is how to get all these students coming in from all the different elementary schools to begin to feel a part of the QHS family. Traditionally,
we held a Freshmen Night, which was an evening of ice-breaker games and competitions allowing students to have fun and begin to meet some new friends. This year, we wanted to make a change to the traditional Freshmen Night Activity and created a Freshmen Challenge Activity. So, a 4km hike up Mont-Ste-Anne was planned! As they stood looking up the mountain, they were listening to some orders given by myself and QHS outdoor education instructor, Derek Chan. “Along the way you will stop to be challenged by some team building activities. You will need to work together to overcome these challenges, so be prepared. BUT, to get you started, here is the first challenge. You MUST successfully take the three giant, wooden Q H S letters and carry them all the way up the hill so that we can use them in our group photograph at the top of the mountain!” Without hesitation the keen students amongst the group grabbed a letter, and headed off up the hill, and when they got tired, they passed the letter off to the next group that was rested and ready to carry the load. As time ticked away, student council members and staff volunteers were awaiting the group at the top of the hill, preparing lunch, snacks and drinks for the tired students. What a great day watching these kids overcome this challenge. The hike was very symbolic of their upcoming five years at QHS. At times it will seem like an uphill battle, and along the way they will get some help from friends, family and staff. When they do make it to the top (graduation day) they will see it is a beautiful view from the top!

My time at Quebec High - Part of my Anglo-Quebecer Roots Steve Ridlington Class of 1970 I’m Steve Ridlington, a Quebec High graduate of the Class of 1970 and a proud Anglo-Quebecer.
In early July of this summer, my wife and I were traveling from Ontario to our home in the maritimes (Sackville, NB) and dropped into Quebec High for the first time since the mega reunion of the Quebec 400 celebrations of 2008. We had heard of the anticipated move to a new school premises in Ste. Foy and wanted a last look at 945 Belvedere. We were warmly welcomed by school staff who took time from their day to listen to memories of my time at the school and to share the realities and challenges facing the school in contemporary times. Now, as in my time,
Quebec High is an important catalyst in supporting the English community in Greater Quebec City. My paternal grandfather was a British soldier in the Garrison of Quebec when, in 1903, British forces were withdrawn back to England. A number of troops were offered the opportunity to transfer to the Canadian military and he did. He was injured during the First World War and released to a job with the Canadian National Railway and lived in Sillery. Our recent visit was also to see my father’s and uncle’s names etched in bronze on the Second World War Veterans’ Memorial plaque in the Quebec High lobby. My brother was a 1961 grad of the school, too. My school years were a chronicle of a similar experience for many Anglo-Quebecers in regards to the schools I attended. My Dad was a soldier attached to Royal 22nd Regiment at the Quebec Citadel and then at Base Valcartier. I attended kindergarten to Grade 6 at Ste. Foy Elementary; Grade 7 and 8 at Alexander Wolff School (Base Valcartier); Grades 9 to 11 at Quebec High and received one of the first CEGEP diplomas issued by St. Lawrence College in 1972. My subsequent university studies included degrees from Mount Allison University and the University of Waterloo. Parallel to these academic experiences was the day-to-day reality of living as a minority in Quebec City. Supported by the reinforcement of school, church and community activities in English, we lived “total immersion” in our other interactions with the broader dimensions of being “citoyens de la Ville de Québec”. It was my experience, that this duality of language and cultural experience made us stronger, more aware and better equipped as Canadians. I had a 36-year career in bilingual positions in the federal civil service and excelled in formal assessments of my second language knowledge across that time. My growing up as an Anglo in Quebec City played a big part in that success. The passage of time and life experience has refined and underlined the value of my time in the Blue and Gold environment. Kudos to the faculty and staff of today for carrying the torch in making and keeping the institution a cornerstone of the Anglo-Quebec reality. May graduates going forward appreciate the value of their awareness of both cultures. Thank you – Quebec High School – merci bien.
Below is an email received by Community Coordinator, Ed Sweeney
On 10 July, my wife and I had the pleasure of visiting QHS. I am a member of the Class of 1970 and had not been back to visit since the mega-reunion associated with Quebec City’s 400th anniversary. I wanted to reach out and particularly thank your wife for her warm and friendly welcome and her patience & grace as she shared time with us. She showed us around, fielded questions about the school today & sought out reminiscences I shared about the school at the end of the 1960’s. I promised her I would reach out to you for a possible sharing of a reflection piece for the alumni newsletter. My experience included time at Ste. Foy Elementary, Alexander Wolff School, Valcartier base (when it’s students were Anglos), QHS & St. Lawrence College (Wolfe Avenue campus) where I earned one of its first CEGEP diplomas. I was an armed forces offspring & lived behind Place Laurier for a time and at Base Valcartier. Your wife and I discussed the unique perspective we as English Quebecers have on the bilingual nature of our country. Having lived in Quebec City as a minority, gained my second language at school and absolutely by total immersion beyond those walls and with ties over the years to both communities, we as grads of the system are unique in many ways.
7 My roots gave me a strong 2 language status across 36 years in the federal civil service and I think a broader more appreciative perception of Canada’s two leading cultures. As an institution with both a historical tradition and contemporary mission to continue to prepare young people in the way you do, I am very proud of my “Blue & Gold” roots. Best to you both & “Go Blazers”! Steve Ridlington, Class of 1970

QUEBEC HIGH Quebec High School has a long history of collaborating with our community partners in service-based or community-based projects. Below is a summary of five Quebec High Cares Projects. These projects or events are important to us at Quebec High as it allows our students to get out of the classroom and into the community, or it brings the community into the classroom. Projects that promote empathy play a foundational role in building a respectful, compassionate, and inclusive community. Our goal is to teach our students to be a part of a community that emulates these traits.
Each year at QHS we have several First Nation students attending the school. It is important for us as a staff to have our students learn about First Nation culture. We have had animators from the Wendake Reserve come into the school for workshops. We have also had parents come in and share their culture either through stories, cooking, or craft making. Orange Shirt Day is an important date Truth & Reconciliation / Orange shirt Day
on our event calendar. A national day of remembrance to honor the Indigenous children who were sent to residential schools, many of whom never returned. The day raises awareness about the devastating impact of these schools on Indigenous communities, culture, and generations, as well as the enduring legacy of trauma.
The Night of the Homeless This project, spearheaded by QHS staff member Tess LeBlanc, is a new project this year. Quebec City winters can be very hard on those that do not have a home or may find themselves in a difficult situation. This project saw QHS students gathering supplies that could be used by homeless people to help them get through the long winter days. Socks, sleeping bags, boots, clothing were all gathered from donations and brought to the Réseau Solidatité Itinérance du Québec, where the items would be distributed over the winter to those in need.

SCHOOL CARES
Hema Quebec Blood Donor Clinic This is an important event at QHS. It helps Hema Quebec in collecting the necessary blood donations, but what is more important is that it creates awareness to the need and it creates our future donors. Each year the clinics are run by students that are too young to donate themselves. At every clinic, we have Alumni stopping by to donate blood and encourage our students by letting them know that they once were a part of the student volunteer team running the clinic! Terry Fox Run QHS has been a long-time supporter of the Terry Fox Run. Over the past 15 years we have donated over a $100,000 to help fund cancer research. Each year we have a 90% participation rate. Six years ago, Terry’s brother, Doug came to speak and encourage and thank our students.
Jeffrey Hale Community Partners Christmas Hamper Campaign The hamper campaign is one of our largest projects at Quebec High School. There are two avenues to the campaign. One is the collecting of non-perishable food items. The second is the raising of money. Each year, the campaign that has a community committee made up of 14 individuals and organizations, meets in the early fall to plan the campaign. A yearly budget has risen to $50K to help pay for the fresh meat, fruit and vegetables that gets purchased. This amount and the food collected helps feed over 225 families within the English-speaking community.

QHS Athletes Run to Victory at the CQSB Cross-country Race
The Central Quebec School Board (CQSB) is, geographically, one of the largest public school boards in the province of Quebec. With schools located in Shawinigan, Three Rivers, Thetford Mines, Portneuf, Quebec City, Valcartier, Saguenay, Chibougamau, and even a school located in Shefferville, it is easy to see that our school board covers a large part of the province. One of the challenges of the CQSB is, how do we unite students from across the province? Many years ago, while working at Portneuf Elementary, Phil Joycey and his volunteer team created an event that is still “running” strong! This year Quebec High School athletes took part in the 26th annual CQSB Cross-country Race. As in past years, runners from every school participated. There are various categories for both elementary and high school divisions. The cross-country also incorporates community and family involvement in the Open Division category. After several years of hosting the event in the Portneuf region, the decision was made to move the run to the Base de Plein Air in Quebec City. The open space, the trees, and the lake make for a perfect backdrop for the competition. This year QHS runners fared very well and our team won the Commissioner’s Cup Trophy awarded to the overall winners of the CQSB race. Photos (A) Chairman of the CQSB Commissioners, Mr. Stephen Burke, poses with the top female runner (left) and Logan Soanes (right) , winners of the high school category.

This is Mr. Burke’s last CQSB run as he has announced his retiring from the board. We would like to thank him for his service. There has never been a louder cheerleader for English education. Whether handing out trophies at events or speaking at graduation ceremonies, he’s always praising parents for choosing to send their children to the CQSB!

Programmathon Champions
QHS Comes out on Top in Provincial-wide Computer Game Creation Event QHS Coding teams showed their top colors in this year's Programmathon event with a first place overall finish in the secondary 1-2 category, beating out over 85 teams. Dannick Cantin and Maxence Frazer came out on top with their elegant game to answer the theme of 'abandoned Space Station.' This one-day competition, created by a teacher Mathieu Légaré from École Mont St Sacrament, challenges teams of students to create a video game in a high- pressure, real-world setting. Students are given the theme and constraints at 9am and at 5pm they must submit a game. Over 150 teams participated in the 2024 edition in the 2 categories.

Teams train for the event for 8 weeks at lunchtime to prepare through a variety of activities that help them prepare as a team. They practice coming up with ideas when thrown a theme as well as create a large variety of games to build a bank of skills and code functions. The 2025 Programmathon is scheduled for the month of April. Our goal is to have even more teams participating in the event next year.
About the Cover QHS has collaborated with HEMA Quebec for the last 10 years hosting a blood donor clinic. This is a Quebec High Cares Project and one that is successful on many levels. For one, is a great way to teach our students about event planning and all the logistical things that go into a big event. Secondly, it is an awesome opportunity for our students to be involved in a service- based learning project. Thirdly, it creates awareness for our students about the need to give blood. Students involved are too young to donate blood. Each year we have Alumni show up to donate, and they usually let the students know that they too, once helped run the Blood Drive! Great job, secondary 2 Student Life Class. We look forward to you visiting us at a future blood drive when you are old enough to donate.
About the Back Cover Quebec High participates in various student exchanges and, in the spring of 2024, 22 secondary 4-5 students had the opportunity to spend one week in St.
John’s, Newfoundland with Prince of Wales Collegiate. QHS student (right) prepares to head out on the ocean for a day of lobster fishing. These exchanges have introduced our students to the many different cultures that make up this great country of ours. Many thanks to the QHS alumni for helping with some of the costs of the exchange.

Thank You Mr. Upton! QHS Outdoor Ed received a generous gift this summer from Alumni Charlie Upton, Class of 1952. Upon reading about the expansion of our Outdoor ed program, Charlie reached out to teacher/Guide Marne Bourbonnais to offer a donation of Canoe Camping gear. As a long-time adventurer, Charlie had accumulated gear that he no longer uses since he retired from Canoe camping. Charlie made the trip this summer to Quebec High School from Ontario and dropped off his donation personally. We love it when Alumni members stop by for a visit and share with us stories from their time spent at QHS. It was a real treat to meet a 1952 Alumni and his family! In addition to a large back-pack dry bag that our Lead guides have already started using on trips, Charlie also donated some mid size dry bags, life jackets, sleeping gear and survival essentials. The QHS Outdoor education program would like to send out a HUGE THANK YOU to Charlie for his generous donation. Thanks also to his driver for the drop-off!
The QHS Outdoor Education program continues to thrive and this year we have made a large expansion. Already in 2024-2025 school year, over 200 students have had outdoor education experiences at least once. Thanks to the continued support of Alumni, O.E.P. continues to take students outside to learn!

QHS Alumni David LaRochelle, 1958-2024 David Alexander LaRochelle, 66, born in Hamilton, Ontario and raised in Ste. Foy, Quebec, passed away on Wednesday, May 1, 2024 in the much-appreciated care of the King Nursing Home in Bolton, Ontario, while enduring the challenges of Lewy body dementia and deteriorating health. After graduating from Quebec High School, David moved west to the oil fields of Swan Hills, Alberta and then came back east to work in Toronto, Ontario. He retired in Keswick, Ontario. David, a gentle giant, was always known for his convivial manner, respect and consideration for others. He was a true raconteur with a wonderful sense of humor and animated delivery. Family, friends, nieces and nephews all reveled in his antics and story-telling. Motorcycling, collecting and tinkering were David’s favorite pastimes. He had an inquisitive, seemingly encyclopedic mind. In fact he read our complete set of The Book of Knowledge, 20 volumes, in his early childhood. David was predeceased by his parents, Jean and Paul of Quebec City and sister Gaye. He is survived by his sister Patricia (Hap Oldham – deceased) and brothers John (Suzanne), Pierre (Belinda) and Mark (Janis). David will be sadly missed by all.
