Alumnus Dr. Paul Fedak ’91 In The News:

Canadian Researchers have pioneered a new way to mend a patient’s breastbone after open heart surgery, using Superman-strength glue that cuts healing time and reduces pain. The technique uses a state-of-the-art adhesive called Kryptonite that rapidly bonds to bone and accelerates the recovery process, says Dr. Paul Fedak ’91 Click here to read more on Paul’s role in this exceptional breakthrough: Hamilton Spectator, Tuesday Nov. 17, 2009.

HSC Remembers

HSC's Remembrance Day Service brought together students, faculty, staff, alumni and friends of the College in a moving ceremony honouring Canada’s war dead, including the College’s 47 Old Boys who died in the two world wars, our veterans and soldiers actively serving around the world.

The service was punctuated by a number of wonderful musical performances from the Senior School Choir and Band. As he has done for six decades, Mr. Geoffrey Steel read aloud the names of the Fallen.
Participating in the Wreath Laying Ceremony were Mr. Leslie William Kitson, a Canadian Air Force Veteran, Mrs. Margaret Morison ’47, Mr. Ron Bremner ’67, Head Girl, Mina Kazemi and Head Boy, Haydon Lutz.  Readings and Presentation of the Wreaths were offered by Board Chair, Dr. Jennifer Everson and Alumni Association President, Liane Ormond ’78, as well as current HSC students Hannah Wood and Ryan Jackson.

In his address, Dr. Matthews highlighted the role played by the College’s alumni in the two world wars, and he concluded that we have a lesson to learn from the Fallen. Just as they answered the call of King and country, we also have a responsibility to make the most of our talents and to do whatever we can to help make the world a better place.
