Elevate

Where we are

In the past five years we’ve made significant advancement in leadership and staffing, academic programs, and community engagement. We grew the Seven Generations program, and hired a full-time Indigenous coordinator. We augmented the leadership team to include dedicated roles for advancement and marketing and communications. We launched the most significant capital campaign in RLC’s history, one aimed primarily at facilities renewal. Due to advancement efforts, we achieved the largest single donation in our history, and we exceeded by far our typical annual donation levels. We hired additional admissions staff and undertook the most aggressive admissions tour in RLC history, visiting existing and developing markets on three continents, developing key agent partnerships in the process. We completed, on budget and on time, a signature build, the Recreation Centre, the first donor-funded facility since 2008. It’s the first within the Elevate campaign, a multifaceted, ongoing campus revitalization and renewal project.

Where we're going

In this strategic plan,  

I find RLC to be incredibly progressive and adaptable. They are focused on developing kids for a future that we can’t see yet and I think that is probably the biggest reason why we sent our daughter there, because we wanted her to be ready for anything. I want my child to be adaptable and resilient and ready for what comes in the future. RLC has that same philosophy and that is why we love it so much.
