Indeed it is. The Red Birds Ski Club was founded in 1928 by 3 McGill alumni (fittingly the McGill crest consists of three "3 red birds" or "Martlets") and populated by McGill undergrad & grad students alike.  Red Bird members frequented "The Big Hill" at Mt. St. Sauveur. In 1934 they petitioned to have it formally named "Hill 70" in the wake of the death of McGill's long serving and extremely popular Principal, General Sir Arthur Currie (1920 - 1933). It was seen at the time as a tribute to Currie's remarkable wartime service, since Hill 70 (in France) was the site of his first battle as Commander of the Canadian Corps.  In the post war, Currie received very little recognition for his wartime service from the Canadian Gov't,  which only after great public pressure was brought to bear, finally relented and granted his estate a lump sum payment of $50,000 in 1935 to alleviate his family's dire financial circumstances.
