Greetings & hello to all Bedford Road Alumni!
As shown by the 650 plus attendees to our very successful 100th Anniversary Reunion, the “good old red & white” is alive and well (100 years and going strong).
The surplus funds from the Reunion will "top up" the current Bedford Alumni Scholarship fund. The primary purpose of this alumni account has been to award scholarship funds to deserving Bedford Road graduate(s) each year. We also fund projects in the school that honour our alumni.
This alumni scholarship program has been in place for nearly 40 years, awarding scholarships of $1000 to $2000 each year to deserving students. Over the years, this fund has been enriched by alumni donations and from surplus monies that have been raised by major BRCI reunions, held in 1983 (the 60th), 1998 (the 75th) and in 2023. (the 100th)
If you did not attend the reunion, but still wish to donate to our Scholarship Fund using your credit card, please click here to be taken to our donation site. If you would prefer to donate using a cheque, donation cheques can be made out to Saskatoon Public Schools Foundation, and mailed to 310-21st East Saskatoon, SK S7K 1M7. Please indicate on the cheque that the donation is intended to go to the BEDFORD ROAD ALUMNI FUND.
You will notice that we have partnered with the Saskatoon Public Schools Foundation. We are using their capabilities to process your donations, which will then flow through to an account managed by BRCI Alumni. And please note that the Foundation will generate a tax receipt for donations over $20.
Our Alumni Association has a presence on Facebook to keep folks informed of our initiatives. Please register your contact information and email addresses on this website (click on Menu, then Register in the upper right corner of this page). On this website, you can view or upload memorials to alumni that have passed away. You can also upload pictures and memories of your classmates.
Thanks for your help and keep in touch.
Respectfully yours,
