Matt Amyotte Schorlarship Fund
Talented actor and musician, Matthew Amyotte, had long been a part of Neptune's family, most notably as Musical Director for the Youth Performance Company (YPCo), and as a performer in both Fountain Hall and Scotiabank Stage productions. He was adored by students and staff alike for his warmth, enthusiasm and consummate performance skills. At the request of his family, donations can be made in his memory to the Matt Amyotte Fund or the Brain Tumour Foundation of Canada.
Luke's Legacy
We are devestated by the passing of Lucas Rushton. A beloved student of the TD Youth Performance Company, a talented performer, and a fierce friend.
