Come visit us at the Parkdale Amphitheatre (1258 Queen Street West), say hello, and check out our Parkdale merchandise. Every purchase helps support student scholarships and programs at Parkdale Collegiate.

The festival runs Saturday, August 22 from 11 AM–9 PM, with live music, local vendors, food, family activities, and plenty happening throughout Queen Street West.

We'd love to see some familiar faces—and meet some new ones too! ❤️🐾

Back in June, we had the privilege of celebrating an incredible group of graduates as they crossed the stage and began their next chapter.

The Parkdale Alumni Foundation was honoured to recognize outstanding students through our scholarship program and officially welcome the Class of 2026 into our alumni community.

As we look back on this special day, we're reminded that every graduate becomes part of a legacy that stretches back more than a century—and now, the Class of 2026 is part of that story too.

Congratulations once again to all of this year's graduates. We'll be cheering you on wherever life takes you.

Swipe through to relive some of the memorable moments from graduation day. 🎉🐾

🐾 WHO WE ARE

Every great school has a story—and every great school deserves a community that continues to support it long after graduation.

The Parkdale Alumni Foundation is a registered charitable organization run entirely by dedicated volunteers who share one goal: giving back to the school that helped shape us.

Whether you're a recent graduate, a longtime alumnus, a current student, a parent, or a member of the Parkdale community, you're part of that story.

Our mission is to:

🎓 Support today's students through scholarships, graduation initiatives, and programs that enrich student life.

🏫 Preserve Parkdale's rich history by maintaining our archives and celebrating the legacy of one of Toronto's oldest high schools.

🤝 Strengthen our alumni community by bringing generations of Parkdalians together through events, fundraising, and shared memories.

Every scholarship awarded, every student supported, every event hosted, and every connection made is possible because of the generosity of alumni, volunteers, donors, and community members who believe in Parkdale.

This is the first post in our Who We Are series, where we'll share more about the Foundation, the work we do, and the impact we're making together.

Thank you for being part of the Parkdale story. ❤️🐾

A great morning at Parkdale Collegiate's Graduate Breakfast!

Members of the Parkdale Alumni Foundation had the opportunity to meet graduating students, talk about the alumni community, and help approximately 90 graduates sign up to stay connected through our alumni email list.

We're excited to welcome the newest generation of Parkdale alumni and can't wait to see what they accomplish in the years ahead. Congratulations, Class of 2026!
