Benefit Dinner

Thank you to those who participated in the 2025 Benefit Dinner!

The event was a resounding success, with over 280 participants, including alumni, friends of MBCI, parents, students, and community members. Over $300,000 was raised towards The Red Gym Refresh Project! The atmosphere at the RBC Convention Centre was filled with excitement as we heard about the impact and future of the Red Gym.

MBCI’s Red Gym is more than just a facility; it’s a symbol of values we cherish—nurturing our students as holistic individuals and nurturing community, faith, and character. Your financial support is an investment in the people and stories still to come, helping to ensure that the Red Gym remains not only a space of activity, but a hub of growth. We look forward to renovations, set to begin in April 2026, which will create a premier facility where students can develop their gifts and talents and cultivate a spirit of community, teamwork, and sportsmanship. 

Once again, thank you for your support in creating a space where memories will be made, friendships will be strengthened, and where we will continue to reflect the principles of our Christ-centered community. It is our privilege to have you as a partner in building this legacy!

The Red Gym Refresh Project

For generations, the Red Gym at MBCI has been a cornerstone of our school community.

Within its walls, countless stories of teamwork, resilience, and achievement have unfolded. It has been a place where students have grown, teams have thrived, and the community has come together.

Now we have an incredible opportunity to honour this legacy while preparing for the future. The Red Gym Refresh Project will transform this cherished space into a modern, 21st-century athletic facility – ensuring that students, athletic teams, and community programs can continue to flourish for decades to come.
