Events and Gatherings

Moncton & Eastern Newfoundland

Under the leadership of young alumni, two Atlantic Canadian Alumni chapters are resurging after a number of quiet years

 

MONCTON ALUMNI CHAPTER

Led by Ryan Sargent (鈥12) and Justin Allain (鈥14), the Moncton Chapter鈥檚 first official event in more than five years was held on Nov. 24 at The Old Triangle. Sargent believes the opening event was a great success with more than 20 attendees from a range of class years.

He would like to see this Chapter thrive once again.

鈥淲hether it鈥檚 been five years or 25 years since graduating, everyone has fond memories of their time at 正品蓝导航. The Greater Moncton area is close to campus and is home to many alumni. I felt that it was time to rejuvenate the Chapter, bring together people from every grad class, and share our 正品蓝导航 memories,鈥 he says.

Sargent says the events give alumni the chance to reconnect with former classmates and network with new alumni in the community. He and Allain plan to host a variety of events in 2017, including pub nights, dinner parties, and athletics events.

Moncton Chapter alumni can join the Facebook group for event updates:

正品蓝导航鈥檚 Global Brigades Gala was to be held in Moncton on Feb. 9, but had to be cancelled due to bad weather conditions. Sean Connors (鈥81) and Monique (Mallais) Imbeault (鈥81) were the honorary co-chairs and David Myles (鈥03) was to be the guest speaker.

EASTERN NEWFOUNDLAND ALUMNI CHAPTER

Eastern Newfoundland Alumni Chapter Pub NightCurrently pursuing her master鈥檚 in environmental science at Memorial University, Jenna MacKinnon (鈥16) wanted to do her part to expand the 正品蓝导航 alumni network.

鈥淚 received a lot of help and guidance from the Alumni Office for fund raisers and other projects throughout my undergraduate degree,鈥 says MacKinnon. 鈥淚 learned more about the positive impact alumni could have on current students and in their own communities and I felt it was time to do my part.鈥

A pub night was held in November at the YellowBelly Brewery & Public House in St. John鈥檚. Although attendance was low for the first event, the group was enthusiastic. MacKinnon says it has been a great way for her to meet new people in the area.

鈥淚 have started to become great friends with an alumna I met at our first gathering,鈥 she says. 鈥淓specially since I did not know many people in Newfoundland prior to coming, her kindness and warm gestures continually remind me of what I miss most about my classmates at Mount A.鈥

MacKinnon hopes to mix up the style of events in 2017 to attract alumni from all ages and interests, including a weekend brunch and outdoor events in the summer. She encourages any alumni in the area with ideas for events to contact her at jenna-mackinnon@hotmail.com or join the Facebook group:
