Under the umbrella of the philanthropy & alumni committee of the School's governing body, the TCS Alumni Association will contribute its efforts in support of the mission and vision of Trinity College School. The association will work jointly with the School to enhance its reputation as one of Canada's premier independent schools by building and fostering the strong ties that bind the many facets of the TCS community together. Ultimately, the association will ensure that alumni and past parents have the opportunity to enhance and support the School through volunteerism and philanthropy.
