2026 Remembrance Day Service
Shawnigan Lake School
More details to be announced soon.
As Shawnigan Lake School marks its 110th anniversary, we are reminded that our very foundation is inseparable from a history of global service. Our campus stands on land acquired in 1916 by founder C.W. Lonsdale from the Ravenhill family following the loss of their son, Horace, in the First World War – a beginning that instilled a community legacy deeply rooted in duty.
To honour this history, we invite you to join us for our special 2026 Remembrance Day Ceremony on Wednesday, November 4, 2026. This gathering in our Chapel allows our entire community to reflect on the courage of those who answered the call of duty. We have invited the families of all those Shawnigan alumni who served (and in some cases fell) in the Second World War. We have already heard that the granddaughter of Shawnigan’s first Olympic gold medalist, John Lander, will be attending to represent her family.
If you are related to or are connected with family members of the fallen, please contact the Advancement & Community Engagement at advancement@shawnigan.ca.
We look forward to seeing you at the Chapel on November 4 (further details to follow) as we honour our past and build a legacy for our future. Please RSVP to rsvp@shawnigan.ca to confirm your attendance.
We acknowledge with respect the Coast Salish Peoples on whose traditional lands and waterways we live, learn and play. We are grateful for the opportunity to share in this beautiful region, and we aspire to healthy and respectful relationships with those who have lived on and cared for these lands for millennia.
Shawnigan Lake School is an independent co-educational boarding school for ages 12 –18 on Canada’s beautiful Pacific Coast. Our diverse, interdisciplinary and innovative programming helps shape the next generation of global leaders.
