Olympic Village is a vibrant community that’s aching for the long-promised elementary school. Today I got to meet parents and kids of all ages, learning about how much of a difference it will be to have a local school, including not having to move away.

I had the privilege of attending the Crosstown šxʷwəq̓ʷəθət Elementary assembly to mark Orange Shirt Day where student leaders shared their knowledge with the whole school and made connections to their every day learning. Truth and Reconciliation are a shared responsibility.🧡

At this time of year it’s an honour to be a part of high school graduation ceremonies, sharing the joy with graduates from @vsb39 Alternate and Alternative, David Thompson and Gladstone Secondary Schools. Congratulations! 💜💚❤️

It was very moving to attend the @VSB39 Indigenous Grade 7 Moving Forward Ceremony - to see students celebrating with family, community and school staff as building relationships is so important for students.

@NehiyawSpirit Congratulations Chas!

I am so grateful to have finally crossed the stage to receive my Doctorate of Education. Thank you to all who have supported me. #UBC #graduation2025 #Indigenous #surthrived

The Woman of the Grass House Post was unveiled @VSB39 Byng Secondary today, acknowledging the Musqueam land on which the school is built. I was honoured to attend the ceremony along with many students who helped carve paddles from the cut away yellow cedar.

Our thoughts continue to be with everyone impacted by the Lap Lapu Day tragedy, and our gratitude is for the those providing ongoing supports. This VSB offers guidance and resource links to support children through traumatic events.   vsb.bc.ca/_ci/p/80013

So pleased to join @JennaSudds @vsb39 David Thompson Secondary to hear that $39.4M will be invested in BC school food over three years. It was wonderful to meet the culinary arts students and so many school food supporters inc @growingchefs, @brentmansfield & Fresh Roots.

Thank you @AdrianeCarr for everything you have done for Vancouver - always thinking about the city our children are growing up in, and how to make sure they can thrive here as adults and elders.

✍ | Today, we wanted to share a call to action made by @brentmansfield. He is urging teachers and students in #BritishColumbia to take action and call on the @BCGovNews to sign an agreement with the federal government as part of the National School Food Program. By signing an agreement, British Columbia would join #NewBrunswick, #Ontario, #PrinceEdwardIsland, #Manitoba, and #Newfoundland and #Labrador, all of which have already secured funding for their school food programs! He is also providing 2 actions that #teachers and #students can take to encourage the provincial government to sign an agreement! #schoolfood #bcpoli #polbc Discover the blog!
