Garnet Key celebrates half a century with old and new 

Out of their garnet blazers, the members of the retiring 50th Key (above) pose for a photo. In the back row are Anna Cantor, Steph Lipari, Nigar Ahmed, Sabrina Kabir, Luka Pavlovic, Amanda Avino, Natasha Lam and Robert La Rosa, and in the front row, Patrick Samborsky, Biagina-Carla Farnesi, Scott Allen and Alexandra Roy.

Members of the Garnet Key Society are official guides at major events. On May 10, the honour society celebrated a half-century of service to Sir George Williams and Concordia Universities with a banquet.

As well as bidding farewell to the outgoing members and welcoming the 51st Key, the program included a moving speech from the first president of the Garnet Key Society, Jim Yelland, who donated his original blazer to Concordia.
