Albert College To Honour Craig Bridgewater
Albert College will host its annual Bermuda reception in October, providing information and celebrating its ties with the island while also honouring alumnus Craig Bridgewater for a decade of service on the school’s Board of Governors.
A spokesperson said, “Each year, Albert College representatives visit Bermuda to share information about the school, encourage enrolment, and visit with Bermudian alumni and student families. This year’s alumni and parent reception will be hosted by Albert College’s Head of School, who will also be honouring Craig Bridgewater, an Albert College alumnus who is retiring from the school’s Board of Governors after 10 years of service.
“Albert College is a leading independent Canadian high school with a long-standing relationship with Bermuda.
