About
Our School
At Lindsay Collegiate and Vocational Institute (LCVI), staff will ensure that all measures are taken to help all of our students maximize their potential. There are many pathways for students to follow, which may include opportunities for dual credits with local colleges, or Specialist High Skills Major Programs to help students prepare for life after high school.

The story of Trish Peter
Trish Peter entered her Grade 9 year at LCVI as a happy, artistic, and athletic teenager. When she turned 16 years old she was diagnosed with cancer. This vivacious and talented girl created such an impact on LCVI’s staff and students over the course of her high school career that she was voted valedictorian in her graduating year. Trish’s infectious spirit for life and her courage and determination to beat cancer made her one of LCVI’s most memorable students. Unfortunately, Trish lost her life to cancer on July 30, 2004. She was 19 years old.
On October 14, 2004, the first annual LCVI Trish Peter Spirit Run was born. Every year, students celebrate Trish’s life by dressing head to toe in Trish’s favourite colour, pink. With 100 percent participation from staff and students, we walk, jog, or run a 2.5 km course through the streets of Lindsay. Money and donations are raised by students and staff and donated to The Trish’s Wish Foundation. This foundation provides financial assistance and support to families in the City of Kawartha Lakes in a time of crisis, as a result of serious illness or injury to a member of that family who is between the ages of 17 and 25.
Donations are accepted at LCVI’s main office or by calling the school at 705-324-3556.
