RCA Golf Tournament It was a gorgeous Monday afternoon at Thundering Waters Golf Club in Niagara Falls, ON for this year's edition of the RCA Golf Invitational. The course was in great shape, Mother Nature provided stunning weather and a wonderful day was had by the members of the Ridley Family who attended. Following the golf, everyone headed back to the Ridley campus for a BBQ meal courtesy of Rotisserie-To-Go. Before the evening concluded, the prizes were handed out with the Low Gross winner being Mike Hastings '96, Low Net winner was Rob Stratton '71 and the winning foursome being the team from the Class of '71 - Rob Stratton, David Irwin, Leigh Hogg and Geoff Lind.

Anderson Reading Room Dedication On June the 20th, a gathering of Faculty, Staff and members of the Administration met at the library reading room to dedicate this area to the name of Sam Anderson '45 who gave so much of his life and energy to the service of Ridley in virtually all capacities as pupil, member of faculty and 20 year Board member.
Headmaster Jonathan Leigh cut the ribbon into the newly named Anderson Reading Room and commented: "It is my great honour to dedicate this beautiful corner of our library to the memory of Sam Anderson who was the truest of Ridleians. A man of humble, yet handsome generosity and a devotee of the vital importance of education in an ever changing world. The plaque here commemorates his singular achievements and love of our great School. His legacy lives on and Ridley College is forever grateful."
