Where Are They Now?
Joanna is visiting the Grameen
Danone yogurt social business.
Here, she is pictured with the
local farmers in rural Bangladesh.
These farmers provide the milk
for the yogurt, which is later sold
at an affordable price across the
country, helping to solve both
poverty and malnutrition.

Terry Fox Run 2014
The Terry Fox Run was held on Sunday, September 14th, 2014, marking the 34th
Anniversary of the annual run! The month of September was originally chosen by
Terry to reflect when he had to stop running and when Canadians had to start.
As part of its mission to support charitable causes of interest to the Society,
members of The Scarlet Key Society participated in the annual Terry Fox Run. This
year, the team raised over $2,200 for cancer research! Thanks to everyone for your
support and for your generosity.
A big thank you to everyone who came out and made this such a great event.
Peter Sheremeta (BCom’91)
Director of the Terry Fox Foundation – Quebec region
Congratulations to
the 2014 Scarlet Key
recipients!
Don’t forget to mark your calendars
for the 2015 ceremony on Wednesday,
March 25, 2015 in the Faculty Club.

Scarlet Key Leadership Conference and Homecoming Brunch
During Homecoming Weekend in October, we invite three Scarlet Key recipients from various backgrounds and
careers to come talk to a group of Keys, current students, and alumni. The goal of this conference is to provide
Keys, current students, and alumni with an opportunity to connect and network with prominent McGill alumni
and Keys, who are leaders in their communities and experts in their fields. This year, the presentations covered
areas such as leadership, career flexibility, time management, community work, and entrepreneurship. Our three
wonderful speakers were Richard Pound (Partner, Stikeman Elliott LLP), Louise-Marie Parisien (President,
Iceberg Waters Corporation), and Filip Papich (Managing Director, Bank of Montreal).
On Saturday morning, current SK Executives invited returning Keys to a Homecoming Bruch to meet the newlyinducted Keys and to reminisce about good old McGill. Thank you to everyone who came to the Leadership
Conference and Homecoming Brunch; we hope you see you again in the near future! And to those who missed
it, we hope you can make it to one of our events soon!
