2023 Kemptville College Alumni Reunion

A Message from the Kemptville College Alumni Board

The Alumni Board is already preparing for our next reunion Saturday, August 19th, 2023. It will be held at the Lombardy Agricultural Society Fairgrounds, 6 Kelly Road, Smiths Falls (Just off Hwy 15). This is the site where our Kemptville College Alumni Historical building has been constructed. It is a totally wheelchair-accessible facility and grounds.

Motor homes and tents can be accommodated, but no electrical hook-up is available.

We are honouring the years ending in ‘3 and ‘8, but all graduating years are invited to attend. As always, we ask the honour years to provide the silent and live auction items. When you bring your donated article, please complete the required sheet provided at the auction table. We can provide a charitable receipt for your article. The receipt will be according to CRA Guidelines. The money raised from the auctions will go towards the Scholarship Fund. Donations will also be accepted and receipted at the reunion.

The 2022 Reunion was a great success.

Over 100 attended lunch, and 250 were at the dinner. Over $3500 was raised for the Scholarship Fund. The class picture below has been provided to the web by Photography by Margaret Link.
