1971

Karen Carter-Edwards '71 was the recipient of Carleton University's annual High School Teaching award for 2000. This prestigious award is given in recognition of outstanding teaching and dedication in providing the influence and inspiration to her students to excel in their academic pursuits. Honours graduating students may nominate a high school teacher who helped them achieve their academic goals. To do so, the students submit their essay to a review committee. Karen was selected from all the submissions and received her award at the convocation ceremony held in August 2000. An Honours History major from Trent, Karen is currently Department head at St. Joseph's Secondary School in Cornwall. She credits her enthusiasm for history and teaching to the dedicated teachers she had as a student at Trent. Karen published two books on local history and was featured in the television series Sketches of Our Town. Congratulations Karen!

1972

On August 30 last year Anneliese Anthony-Marques '72 participated in the Trans Canada Trail Relay 2000 as it came through the Peterborough area on its way to the nations capital. The Trans Canada Trail covers over 16,000 kilometers across Canada. Much of the route is represented by former railroad lines and the rails to trails project is an ongoing venture in most provinces. The relay began in February 2000 at Tuktoyaktuk, NWT and ended in Hull on September 9 when all three vessels of water from the Atlantic, Pacific and Arctic Oceans were mixed during a closing ceremony. The assigned section of the trail, approximately 12 km, ran from #30 east to #34 and down into Lang Century Village. As an official water carrier, Anneliese rode with two bottles of water one from the Arctic and one from the Pacific. These vessels were previously transported by Faye Davis on bicycle and by Trent University's Peter Adams on Shanks mare. Zoe, the Arabian mare Anneliese rode, is in many respects, a typical first-generation Canadian. She was born in Montebello, Quebec from a dam imported from Egypt and had a German sire. The ride was an honor for Anneliese to undertake and the connection to our country's history gave her a feeling of national pride that is hard to beat!
