Canada
The term is also used in Canada, where the alumni of such schools as St. Andrew's College, Sterling Hall School, Crescent School, St George's School, Bishop's College School and Upper Canada College are known as Old Boys. The old boy network of Upper Canada College has been so influential in the political and business realms of Canada that the book Old Boys: The Powerful Legacy of Upper Canada College (ISBN 978-1551990057), by James Fitzgerand, was published in 1994.
