CDS Launches Inter-School Virtual Chess Tournament!
Last Friday, Henry Xiu ’22 and Kevin Liu ’21 participated in the first-ever virtual independent school Chess Tournament organized by our very own Mr. Jason Jugoon. In addition to CDS, Appleby, Crescent and UTS signed on for a total of 16 competitors. Henry (Team Captain) and Kevin placed 9th and 8th respectively, but Appleby swept the podium.
According to Mr. Jugoon, “the real victory was the establishment of a league of teams that play chess.” In fact, a second tournament is scheduled for this evening with 20 competitors competing from four schools, Crescent, UCC, SAC and CDS: including Henry, Kevin, Ethan MacDonald ’22 and Wolfgang Van Gulik ’24 pictured in this photo. May the best team win!

Land Acknowledgment
The Country Day School wishes to recognize and acknowledge the land on which the school operates. Our nearest Indigenous Nations are now the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation and the Chippewas of Georgina Island. The Dish with One Spoon Wampum covenant is often cited as an example of the shared responsibility for caring for these lands among the Huron-Wendat, Anishinaabe and Haudenosaunee peoples who would call these their traditional territories. CDS respects the relationship with these lands and recognizes that our connection to this land can be strengthened by our continued relationship with all First Nations, by acknowledging our shared responsibility to respect and care for the land and waters for future generations.
