Root THE UTS ALUMNI MAGAZINE FALL 2019

L AW R E N C E HILL ’75 Author headlines inaugural BTF Speaker Series PRESIDENT'S REPORT Let’s be Generous to a Fault

In the Fall of 1982, I entered University of Toronto Schools to a raucous scene as students, new and experienced, were excitedly anticipating the start of the new school year. Now, almost four decades later, I often find myself walking past 371 Bloor Street West. It is rare when I do not take a moment to remember those first days, when I could only imagine where life would take me. As an alumnus and president of the UTSAA, I am thrilled to see the progress that is being made to our school and for what it portends for future generations of UTS students and alumni. None of this progress would have been possible were it not for your generosity. Please take a few minutes to read the UTS Donor Report in this issue of The Root. These are the alumni, parents, staff and friends who view the kind of education offered at UTS as being so vital that they have decided to give to the best Mark Opashinov ’88 of their abilities. That generosity of spirit deserves our unreserved gratitude. PRESIDENT, UTSAA The Building the Future campaign is now in its final stretch. I am confident that we will find that extra reserve of energy to meet our goal. At the time of this writing, we are within $4.3 million of reaching our $60 million goal. I appreciate that this will be the most challenging part of our campaign. At the same time, I know that I have no reason to worry – UTS alumni have never had an issue meeting goals. That is what led us to UTS in the first place. With our collective commitment to the school, I know we are in good shape. But I am also aware that $4.3 million is no small sum, and it will take a concerted effort by all of us to reach that goal. As you will read elsewhere in this issue of The Root, Jim Fleck C.C. ’49 P ’72, UTS Board Chair, recently issued a challenge I would very much like to see us all take on, to the extent that we are each able. Jim asked us to consider increasing our previous donations and pledges by 25 per cent. If we are able to do so, we will reach – and surpass – our goal well ahead of schedule. If you have had the opportunity to visit 371 Bloor for yourself recently, you have seen the transformative power of generosity. Scaffolding has gone up, and the work has started in earnest. The future Athletic Centre, Atrium, library and auditorium is currently a deep hole in the ground but by the end of the year, the digging will end and construction will begin. This is the moment we have been anticipating for years, when our plans, our hopes and our promises will be fulfilled. I am as excited by this as almost any major event in my near 40-year association with UTS. I have always been proud of UTS. First as a student, then as an alumnus, now as your UTSAA president and Building the Future campaign donor. I am even prouder to know that, in some ways, my most significant contributions to UTS came long after I graduated. I have happily accepted Jim’s challenge and hope that you will consider doing so as well.

UTS BOARD REPORT As I write this, the Building the Future campaign has raised $55.7 million, or about 92 per cent of our $60-million goal. I believe it’s worth celebrating what we’ve done in just two years since the official launch of the campaign to renew and revitalize our unique school. We have seen tremendous participation from staff, enthusiastic initiatives from parents, phenomenal support from our alumni and even contributions from students. We also welcomed our 17th Founder – a designation given for gifts of $1 million or more. I couldn’t be more proud of the collective generosity and commitment from every corner of our community. We truly could not have come this far without you. But we are not done yet. Having been a part of many fundraising campaigns over the years, I am familiar with the way enthusiasm and momentum can ebb and flow. Although we are now only $4.3 million away from our goal, I know from experience that completing the last few kilometres to the finish line can be the most challenging part of the campaign marathon. However, I am convinced that the UTS community will meet that challenge. I Jim Fleck C.C. ’49, P ’72 believe that the passion we all have for this school – which is home to some of our most Board Chair, UTS cherished memories, has shaped so many of our local, national and global leaders, and prepared us so well for our own futures – will keep the momentum going strong for the Building the Future campaign. I believe we all want to provide the remarkable students at UTS the best possible educational environment for decades to come. From the beginning of the campaign, I’ve urged donors to “give ‘til it feels good.” I’m encouraging those who have already made a gift to think of how good it will feel to give just a little bit more. I recently increased my own contribution by 25 per cent, and if everyone who has made a gift – of any size – is able to make the same commitment, we will achieve our goal and then some. The Building the Future campaign, like any fundraising project, is a long-distance race. Let’s finish it together.

ADVANCEMENT REPORT Last June, our faithful leader, Jim Fleck C.C., issued a challenge to the entire UTS community. As a graduate of the Class of 1949, parent of an alumnus, Chair of the UTS Board of Directors, Chair of the Project Steering Committee and Chair of the Building the Future campaign, Jim has a unique perspective on UTS and certainly a vested interest in the success of our school’s future. Jim began his message by thanking us for everything that we have done towards the transformation of our UTS building. To put his gratitude into concrete terms, I wish to share that to date, 1,200 of us have made 3,536 donations which total $55.7 million towards our $60 million goal. Our collective support as a community is stunning, and I wish to express my gratitude to each and every one of you who jumped in to participate in this important campaign. After all, this effort is not just about the refurbishment of our physical plant; rather, it’s about continuation of our beloved school, as an affiliate of the University of Toronto, and at our home site at 371 Bloor Street West. Martha Drake On to Jim’s challenge – Jim boldly stated that he is increasing his campaign Executive Director, contribution by 25 per cent and invited those of us who are able to join him to increase Advancement our own pledges. Jim’s experience in many major fundraising campaigns has taught him that the last stretch of a campaign is often the most challenging and declared that failure was not an option. I have decided to accept Jim’s challenge to increase my commitment to the Building the Future campaign, because this school is too important for us to fall short. We are so close, with 93 per cent of our campaign goal achieved. One of my favourite campaign factoids is that over $3 million has been donated by those who have given less than $1,000. This serves to prove that it is about all of us coming together to do what we can for UTS. Please consider Jim’s challenge and join us. As our campaign slogan says, “This is the time!”

UTS STAFF MODEL MEANINGFUL ACTION AGAINST CLIMATE CHANGE The UTS Strategic Plan has as its purpose that UTS graduates will “love learning, take initiative and innovate as socially responsible global citizens.” It is important that students see role models for this lofty purpose and UTS staff are stepping up. In April 2019, Environment and Climate Change Canada published Canada’s Changing Climate Report, which concluded that Canada’s climate is warming twice as fast as the global average. The report concluded that provincial curricula across Canada are inadequate for preparing students to understand the climate change crisis. Seth identifies the following as the six essential concepts which students must learn about climate change: Rosemary Evans Principal, UTS • Climate basics • Temperatures are warming • Climate change is mainly caused by humans • There is significant scientific consensus about climate change • Climate change is bad • We can mitigate climate change.

At UTS, our staff are examining and strengthening the school’s curricula and striving to be role models for our students by taking personal action to mitigate climate change. The staff committee presentation stated, “The average Canadian currently emits approximately 15 tonnes of carbon per year. It has been estimated that the global average for carbon emissions per capita would have to drop to 2.1 tonnes to stay within a threshold 1.5 degree increase in global average temperature.” UTS staff can undertake “three of the highest-impact personal actions and strive to reduce our collective carbon footprint for all school-related activities” through the following proposal:

• order vegetarian options for all UTS staff events by default – other food requests (such as meat-based, vegan, gluten-free, etc…) can be made by request • minimize our school-related flights by replacing flights, when possible, with motor coaches • use more local events or video-conferences for professional learning.

I think of the words of Katherine Sorbey, a Mi’Kmaq Elder, teacher, poet and storyteller. She said “we absolutely must recognize here in Canada, as well as in the international community, the negative health and lifestyle impacts of climate change and act immediately to ameliorate these impacts in the interests of all peoples and our environment.” As a whole school, we're looking forward to a year of continuing education about and action against climate change. We hope you join us in your own way in this important undertaking.

UTS students continued to shine in athletic competition during the 2018–19 academic year, including several standout performances at Ontario Federation of Student Athletic Associations (OFSAA) competitions. For the second consecutive year, the Varsity Girls Volleyball team earned a provincial silver medal. The Varsity Badminton squad enjoyed a five-banner season, winning Toronto Catholic District Athletic Association (TDCAA) tournament For the sixth year, UTS represented Ontario titles at the Bantam, Junior, Senior and as provincial Envirothon champions.

Every UTS Graduation is a special occasion, but for the Class of 2019, this year’s ceremony was truly historic. The latest UTS alumni are the first to complete their final year at the school’s Queen- Ossington location, the temporary space where UTS is based during construction at 371 Bloor Street West. As senior students, the members of this graduating class demonstrated leadership and a positive spirit that eased the transition to 30 Humbert Street for the entire UTS community. Congratulations to the Class of 2019 for everything they accomplished at UTS – and everything they will achieve in the future.

April was an exceptional month for student-led initiatives at UTS. In addition to the school’s annual Day of Pink celebrations, for which students took to the streets of the Queen-Ossington neighbourhood to show their support for the LGBTQ2+ community, the second edition of the Girls In Tech Conference brought young women from across Toronto to share their love of and aptitude for technology. Meanwhile, S6/ Grade 12 student Lian Lambert created the first-ever Rediscover UTS week, which invited students to engage in conversations about mental health, common challenges, the activities of student clubs and more.

UTS students have a strong track record at international STEM competitions, but 2019 was one of the most impressive years yet. In July, Howard Halim (S6/Grade 12) and David Tang (S5/Grade 11) comprised one-third of Team Canada and won silver and bronze medals, respectively, at the International Mathematical Olympiad in England, marking the first time two UTS students competed in the same IMO since 2007. Also in July, Eric Shen (M4/Grade 10) travelled to Israel for the International Physics Olympiad and three students – Raymond Lin (S6/Grade 12) and Andrew Marin and Jason Xiong (S5/ Grade 11) – competed for Canada’s bronze- winning team at the International Young Physicists’ Tournament in Poland. With Jerry Wang (S5 Grade 11) participating in the International Olympiad on Astronomy and Astrophysics in Hungary in August, and Anna Krokhine (S5/Grade 11) visiting Ukraine for the European Girls Mathematical Olympiad in April, UTS students made a name for themselves on the global stage.

As the author of influential and internationally acclaimed novels such as The Book of Negroes (HarperCollins, 2007) and The Illegal (HarperCollins, 2015), LAWRENCE HILL ’75 is one of the brightest literary lights in UTS history. But his written work – which will soon include a new novel about African- American soldiers from the Southern U.S. sent to Northern Canada to build the Alaska Highway – only partially accounts for the impact he has made around the world. Prior to inaugurating the BTF Speaker Series in October, Lawrence discussed his life, his books, his volunteer work and his time at UTS with The Root magazine.

ANNUAL DONOR There is a simple aphorism I favour: the greatest journey begins with the first step. When we launched REPORT the Building the Future campaign, we certainly imagined that one day we would reach our goal. Now that it is within sight, that first step seems all the more momentous and we could not be more delighted. We have been so fortunate to have overwhelming buy-in from all of our stakeholders, from Class and Parent Challenges to the First Girls Initiative, staff, and a number of other community partners who recognize the value of UTS. The generosity you have shown has confirmed what we believed when we launched this campaign – that UTS offers something wonderful, something worth investing in. Our community has reaffirmed once again that UTS offers a value above and beyond providing quality education, as an institution that adds value to all of our communities. This 2019 donor report tells the stories of 1,200 donors who have provided more than $15 million to our community this fiscal year. This includes members of the Arbor Society, who have made deferred gifts to support future generations of UTS students. On their behalf, I offer you my humble thanks.

CELEBRATING OUR GRADUATING CLASS! Since 2007, parents of graduating students have celebrated their children’s graduation from UTS by making a gift to the Grad Class Bursary Fund in honour of their children. The Grad Class Bursary is endowed with over $230,000 which provides approximately $10,000 annually in financial aid to current UTS students. This year, many of the gifts in honour of graduating students were directed to our area of greatest need, the Building Fund. We thank our families for giving the gift of a UTS education through donations totaling almost $100,000!

43 LOOKING BACK

The renewal of a 109-year-old building is always certain to reveal hidden treasures, and sure enough, construction at 371 Bloor Street has unearthed some fascinating pieces of UTS history . When the south staircase near Huron Street was removed, several works of art, including cartoon characters and a mural of the UTS crest, emerged from behind the brick (top left, top right) . Meanwhile, the removal of the UTS trophy case from the main lobby allowed for a glimpse of the original middle doorway to the John & Margaret Withrow Hall . Before there was a UTS auditorium, each of the three doors in this photo (right) led to a separate classroom . As it turns out, building the future of UTS means taking a trip through the school’s history .
