Support Branksome’s future and become part of its history. Leave your legacy on a unique donor recognition wall, a central architectural feature in the new Karen L. Jurjevich Innovation Centre and Studio Theatre (iCAST). Inscribe your colourful stone, which will be individually strung by wire along a glass wall in the lobby.
It’s a rare opportunity to make your mark while maximizing your support of girls’ education.
Leave Your LegacyAs you can see from the images below, there are four sizes of Stepping Stones. Each size comes in a range of colours, and by using the Interactive Donor Wall, you can choose where on the wall you would like to place your stone. Finally, make your stone your own with a personal inscription up to a maximum of 70 characters.
These Stepping Stones are 5.75"wide x 4.5" high.
These Stepping Stones are 8.5" wide x 7" high.
These Stepping Stones are 11" wide x 8.25" high.
These Stepping Stones are 12.6" wide x 10" high.

There are many reasons why members of our community are choosing to purchase a place on the Stepping Stone Donor Wall. Hear from some of them below as to why they chose to invest in our students and leave a legacy at Branksome Hall.
“Branksome Hall was absolutely integral in instilling confidence and drive, the two biggest attributes instrumental to our careers,” says Katie, who is Director of Fixed Income at Scotiabank and parent to Ella in JK.
When our daughter, Kimberly [Branksome’s Executive Director of Enrolment Management], told us about the Stepping Stones as a way to commemorate our legacy with the school, we knew it was a perfect way to honour all the generations who benefited from this exceptional institution.
When Senior Kindergarten student Anna Sophia was just three years old, on holiday in Florida, her family spent a rainy afternoon in a science museum.
For Jackie NIXON Gowdy’03, Branksome Hall was a stepping stone into a successful career in the male-dominated finance sector. The most recent member of the Make Way Campaign Cabinet and a Branksome Foundation board member, Jackie is Managing Director, Equity Capital Markets at Goldman Sachs.

Land Acknowledgement
We wish to acknowledge this land on which Branksome operates. For thousands of years, it has been the traditional land of the Wendat, the Seneca and most recently, the Mississaugas of the Credit River. Today, this meeting place is still the home to many Indigenous peoples from across Turtle Island and we are grateful to have the opportunity to work and go to school on this land.*
*The Land Acknowledgement may evolve as we honour our commitment to Truth and Reconciliation in partnership with Indigenous communities.
