Yesterday we hosted the 2nd Annual Rowan McLeod Twisted Broomball Tournament. It’s Broomball with a twist and the teams arrived with lots of team spirit. There was a team award per team of the one that was most like Row. Full of laughter and Fun. She would have loved this event. We thank Built Wright Fencing for the donation for the ice! And to all the silent auction donators for support and loving us! Special thanks to the small tournament committee for all their work. Thank you to our two Refs! And to the parents who drove and watched the day events and to all the players for embracing the twists and had so much fun during the day. The McLeod Family

The Rowan McLeod Memorial Fund would like to extend our heartfelt congratulations to the four recipients of this year’s Riverhawks Memorial Scholarships! 🎓🩷

These scholarships were created following the loss of five beautiful lives — Olivia Rourke, Rowan McLeod, Kaydance Ford, Danica Baker, and Mat Eckert.

We want to express our sincere gratitude to the generous individuals who came together to create and fund these scholarships.

As Rowan’s family, we are so grateful to have the opportunity to honour her memory by choosing deserving students to receive a scholarship in her name.

To all four recipients — congratulations! Philemon Bempong, Anderson Greig, Alexa Hamel and Lydia MacIntosh. We wish you nothing but happiness, success, and wonderful adventures as you begin your next chapters. Carry the memories of Rowan with you and remember to live life to the fullest.

Forever remembered. 🩷

The criteria we created.

The Rowan McLeod Bright Light Award

Presented to: __________________________

This award is presented in memory of Rowan McLeod, a bright light who loved life, lived with incredible energy, and never held back from enjoying every moment.

It honours a graduate who, like Rowan, brings energy and enthusiasm to life and has a clear vision for their future. Someone who knows where they want to go, believes in themselves, and is determined to chase their dreams.

May you continue to follow your heart, embrace every opportunity, and live your life boldly and fully.

Know what you want. Go for it.
Live life big. 🩷

In loving memory of Rowan McLeod

WDCS Commencement was held on October 9, 2026. This should have been a night where we watched our beautiful daughter cross the stage and graduate with her classmates.

🩷 Honouring Rowan at WD Commencement 🩷

We were honoured to be invited to WD’s Commencement to celebrate Rowan and present an award created through the Rowan McLeod Memorial Fund.

When creating this award, we wanted it to reflect who Rowan was and the qualities that made her so special.

Not grades. Not achievements. Not future plans.

But kindness, inclusion, joy, and the ability to make others feel seen, welcomed, and valued. Someone who makes their school a better place simply by being themselves. Someone who leaves a lasting impression on the people around them. 🩷

WD gave our family the special opportunity to choose the recipient of this award.

We proudly chose Christopher Small. 🩷

Christopher attended WD during the years that Conor, Evan, and Rowan were all in the high school building. Quinn remembers him while watching their brothers play basketball. Our family felt he truly represented the heart of what this award was created to recognize.

Christopher’s mom captured this video, and it offers a beautiful little glimpse into the person he is and why we chose him.

Thank you to WD for allowing us to continue honouring Rowan in such a meaningful way, and congratulations to Christopher!

Because sometimes the greatest impact we leave isn’t what we accomplish, but how we make others feel.

Keep spreading kindness, bringing joy, and making people smile.

The award was presented by Rowan’s Oldest Brother Conor McLeod.
Each of the recipients were awarded a very special memorial coin

On Friday October 9, OSDSS held their Commencement. Rowan had strong social ties to their school community. The Rowan McLeod Memorial Fund connected with their commencement committee and created an Award in her honor. The school chose the first ever recipients.

The award criteria: Commencement Recognition Award

This award honours a student who has made our school a better place simply by being who they are. It recognizes those who lead with heart — not grades or future plans.

* Inclusive: Makes others feel seen, welcomed, and valued.
* Kind: Shows everyday compassion, empathy, and care without needing recognition.
* Joyful: Brings warmth, positivity, and light to the school community.
* Meaningful Impact: Leaves a lasting impression through connection, spirit, and how they treat others.

This recognition celebrates the students who remind us that belonging, kindness, and joy are at the heart of a strong community.

Congratulations to Emily, Addison and Kate
