The SJR Alumni Association is pleased to present a new program that engages alumni by providing significant recognition and networking opportunities to the SJR community in Winnipeg and abroad. The SJR Alumni Association is a global network of individuals that support one another through the common bond of having attended SJR. The Alumni Association represents over 7,000 alumni from St. John’s College School, Ravenscourt School and St. John’s-Ravenscourt School combined.

Over the years, the Alumni Association has contributed over $500,000 to fund annual scholarships, preserve our school history by establishing and supporting the Martin H. Ainley Archives Centre, fund special projects and many capital initiatives. We are proud to support initiatives that have special meaning to alumni and those that continue to enhance the educational experience of students today and well into the future. Proceeds from the patron program will support the SJR Alumni Association and these initiatives.

The Patron Program strengthens our relationships with the SJR community and allows the SJRAA to offer more inclusive engagement opportunities, throughout the year, free of charge, and at reduced rates for all alumni and friends.

  • Issuing Tax Receipts

    In accordance with CRA, charitable tax receipts cannot be issued to businesses for sponsorship of events.  CRA defines sponsorship as “when a business makes a donation to a charity and, in return, receives advertising or promotion of its brand, products or services. Proving sponsorship to a charity or to a charitable event is not a give, and a charity generally cannot issue a receipt for sponsorship”

    SJR will issue invoices for receipt of payment to businesses in place of a charitable tax receipt.  Should the business opt-out of receiving recognition, a tax receipt can be issued.  This applies to businesses only.

    Individuals will receive a tax receipt in the full amount of their patron level minus a portion of the cost of tickets received.
If you wish to receive an invoice, please select "BILL ME LATER",
under the payment method.
