A Tribute to Mr. Reed Scowen

May 29th, 2020

On May 28th, Tyndale lost one of its most passionate volunteers, Reed Scowen.

As a tribute to Reed we wish to briefly summarize Reed’s remarkable involvement and contributions to Tyndale for 15 years from 1998. Bishop Andrew Hutchison, then of the Anglican Diocese of Montreal, directed Reed then into his 60’s, to us at Tyndale to give back meaningfully (in addition to his other community and social activities). Reed joined the Centre’s Board and immediately leveraged his education, his powerful and persuasive personality, skills, experience, and contacts on behalf of Tyndale.

Here are only some of his achievements:

Created a formal and effective Fundraising Committee and process at Tyndale.
Strongly influenced Tyndale’s strategic direction during the 1998 Strategic Planning Process, Together with a team facilitated and enabled a tripling over 10 years of Tyndale’s programs and services for the Little Burgundy Community in line with the 1998 Strategic Plan.

Strongly contributed to enhancements in Board Governance throughout his time on the Center’s Board Directed Tyndale’s first and only Appeal and Capital Campaign with the main purpose to join and renovate the two buildings on Richmond Square; the objective was substantially exceeded.
With the excess funds from the Capital Campaign he led the establishment of the Tyndale Foundation and served as its President and Chairman up to 8 years ago. Its purpose has been to provide ongoing financial support for the Center with growth from the capital as well as to provide a buffer for the Center to help maintain stability in the Center’s programs and level of service.
Led the effort to completely reshape fundraising for the Center beyond the strong and reliable support from The Presbyterian and Anglican Churches in Canada.
Attracted many very capable people to volunteer at Tyndale during his 15 years. Today one of them is Chair of the Center’s Board and another President of the Tyndale Foundation.

In summary and very simply Tyndale wouldn’t be what it is today were it not for the passionate, generous, sustained effective actions by Reed Scowen. All of us very much enjoyed working with Reed. We have tremendous memories of the times working together building and sustaining Tyndale on behalf of the Community it serves. They’re precious memories and we value them. Saying “no” to Reed was very difficult. I gave up and rather focused on trying to pick up some skills and tips which was more productive. His charm, powerful personality and presence, full of life, made him an exceptional individual.

Reed will be very much missed and remembered. Thank you Reed for all you did for Tyndale.

Our thoughts and prayers are with his family.

Tony Infilise
Chairman, Tyndale St-Georges Foundation
