| You're invited!
After a two-year hiatus, we are so excited to welcome our community back to campus for one of our oldest and most beloved traditions. In May 2020, alumni from across the years and across the globe helped us create a special tribute for our students by sharing photos, videos, and memories from their time in the BCS No. 2 Cadet Corps. Watch the tribute and get excited for this year's in-person edition.
We hope you'll join us for the 159th Annual Cadet Review of the Bishop's College School No. 2 Cadet Corps.

Catching up with... Monty Price, BCS'92
We caught up with Lieutenant-Colonel Price this week as he shared about his professional path to becoming the Director Army Intelligence/Army G2 for the Canadian Army.
He also shared his fondest memories from his time at BCS and sage advice for current students.

Who's afraid of the big bad wolf
He huffed and puffed and blew the house down....or did he? Our BCS Players' Club performers put the big bad wolf himself on trial during their production of 'Big Bad' by Alec Strum.
In this fractured fairy tale, Little Red Riding Hood is seeking injustice for all the Wolf’s bad deeds. The prosecuting Fairy Godmother and defending Evil Stepmother will face off in this legal comedy to uncover the truth and nothing but the truth, so help Hans Christian Andersen.
Make yourself some popcorn, switch off your cellphones, and settle in for an entertaining 42 minutes.
