After a brief dormancy, the OSA was revived in mid-2001 at a well-attended alumni picnic on June 24, 2001. The 2000–2002 executive committee emerged from this revival, with President Mr.S.Sivaram at the helm (Patron K.Sivasubramaniam continued in his role). Mr.S.Thulakanathan served as Secretary and Mr.K.Muthukrishnan as Treasurer. President S.Sivaram was a dynamic leader who immediately infused new energy into the association.

The year 2001 marked the 125th Anniversary of J/Victoria College, and the committee seized the opportunity to celebrate it in grand fashion. In 2001, they organized an elaborate 125th Anniversary celebration and dinner in Toronto, featuring Mr. N. Logenthiralingam (a distinguished old boy and newspaper editor) as chief guest and a keynote speech by Mr. Samy Appathurai. A souvenir magazine was published to commemorate the occasion, and, in an unprecedented gesture, several retired teachers were honored at the event – a heartfelt idea conceived by President Sivaram. The committee worked tirelessly to gather content and advertisements for the souvenir, fostering a strong sense of connection among alumni. Mr. G. Sivapiragasam's unwavering dedication was instrumental in ensuring the souvenir's timely completion, further enhancing the celebratory spirit of the event.

Fundraising was another focus of this term. In September 2001, the association held a charity movie show to raise funds. The show proved fruitful: its proceeds, combined with accumulated donations, were utilized to purchase 9 Lachams of land adjacent to the college playground – the first phase of a major “Playground Extension Project”. Additionally, at the association’s appeal, the family of the late Mr. Suppiah Udayar(a prominent local figure) generously donated funds to acquire 4 extra Lachams, bringing the total to 13 Lachams of new land for expanding the school’s playground. This was a landmark achievement – the first time the diaspora directly financed a land purchase for the college’s infrastructure. The combined cost was about C$8,670 (Rs 520,000) at the time, reflecting the significant fundraising drive spearheaded by President Sivaram and supported by Treasurer Muthukrishnan’s prudent handling of funds. The 13-Lacham plot (often referred to as the “Oviyapulam land, Lot #4”) would lay the groundwork for a much-needed sports ground for students.

As 2002 approached, JVC OSA Canada had not only reactivated itself but had also delivered a major contribution to the school. Under Patron K. Sivasubramaniam’s steady guidance, they ensured that plans – especially the playground project – stayed on course.
