Mr. Speaker, today I mark the 75th anniversary of Leaside High School and the way it has forged academic excellence and shown prowess in sports while fostering a strong sense of community spirit.
This anniversary is an opportunity to celebrate generations of fine leaders, leaders such as David Stickney, a math teacher, coach and friend, who demonstrated community service as a way of life. It is an opportunity to celebrate the Leaside Lancers, champions in hockey, football, cross-country, track and field, skiing, and archery. It is also an opportunity to celebrate the school's exceptional alumni, such as Paul Cadario and his work at the World Bank, Canadian Music Hall of Fame inductee Phil Levitt, iconic novelist Margaret Atwood, writer and humorist Terry Fallis, and 2020 graduate Sarah Jordan, whose annual food drive has helped over half a million Torontonians.
I express my thanks to the 75th anniversary committee for their hard work. Unfortunately, plans have changed due to the pandemic, but Leaside High School spirit is strong. We will find new ways to remember and celebrate.
