CLASS REPS: Martha Hart McDougall and Tralee

Montréaler Pamela Lipson works as an English translator
and heads up English communications at the Caisse de
dépôt et placement du Québec (CDPQ), with a side gig as a
fitness instructor (spinning, Pilates, barre). She’s involved
in events such as the Enbridge Ride to Conquer Cancer
and training her colleagues by giving free spinning classes.
She found time to choreograph her kids’ (Sophia 9 and
Benjamin 7) school play (Aladdin and the Magic Lamp). Two
casts, four shows in a real theatre!
Candace (Candy) McCutcheon Dinnick’s year has
been about adapting to a new life. She’s separated and
living in Toronto with a new man ‒ Michael Latimer ‒ and
their blended brood of five kids. She has switched real
estate companies to Bosley. Both are going very well, she
says. Her two boys (Christopher 17 and Charlie 13) are
active in baseball, hockey and Kilcoo Camp.
Nicole Beckmann Swales reports that her daughter
Alexa competes at a national level in synchronized
swimming and her son Lukas plays hockey and “every other
sport under the sun.” Her son Nikolas is trying out acting.
Nicole sits on the board of directors at Crescent and on the
foundation committee at Havergal. A trip to New Zealand
with her husband Brian and the kids was a highlight of 2016.
After completing five years as CEO of Women in Capital
Markets in 2013, Martha Fell took some time to decide
on her next chapter. She eventually jumped into fashion
by starting Jaxx & Marbles Inc. with a friend in 2015,
making cool custom belts for kids, women and men – all in
Toronto. Martha is also on the Blackrock Canada IRC board,
Havergal’s board of governors and is a founding director of
Bay Street Deconstructed.
Tricia (Trish) Lines Hill continues to work as senior vice-
president of BD and marketing at First Atlantic Commerce
and recently launched her own line of natural organic body
care products. Tricia Lines Bermuda features washes,
lotions, scrubs and butters and is currently available in
various boutiques around Bermuda. Andrea Dalgarno
Juby’s son Ian started at University of Toronto this year and
her daughter Nicole starts high school next year. Nicole is
dancing up a storm; tap is her specialty.
Jennifer Barbour McKellar enjoys life in California
with her family and works as an environmental planner for
San Francisco. After 10 years in the U.S., she became an
American citizen in November. Jennifer is pleased that it
happened in time to have Barack Obama’s signature on it
and not the new guy’s!
Beth Graham Burrows’s daughter Nicole graduated
from Havergal last year after being sports prefect and is
now at university in California. Her daughter Tori is in Grade
11 (and is also the school mascot Allie the Gator!) and Emily
is in Grade 9. Beth currently sits on the HOGA Directorate
as the Upper School liaison. She is back in school herself,
at King’s College at UWO for a certificate in grief counselling
through the social work program.
Susan McDonald Beckwith is part of a sponsor group
that welcomed a Syrian refugee family to Ottawa last year
and has been humbled by the courage and determination
of the family members. “I also have loved my time once a
week when I go to practise English reading with the 8-year-
old boy, Maher. It is my favourite spare time activity and is a
consistent reminder of how privileged we are to live in such
a great country.”
We’re hoping to hear more about these and other
updates at our 30th Reunion in the fall! Please e-mail tralee.
