In Memoriam
INCREDIBLE ALUMNI, AND THEIR LEGACY…
We honour the memory of our students who have passed away, cherishing the moments they shared with us and the impact they made on our community. Their lives, though too brief, touched our hearts in profound ways. They will always be a part of who we are, and their spirit lives on in our memories and in the love we hold for them. Today and always, we remember them. They are not forgotten.
You can honor a former classmate with a tribute gift here. To add or request a change to this page, please contact alumni@pearsoncollege.ca
