@CanardBrun @barbjustason @melaniecheng123 @SipsintheCity @alfredchien1 @PreetiFaridkot @RichardsonYVR @janetrfraser @victoriajungvan @reddyforchange @BCSTA_News @Vote4ABC @CanardBrun The comments harmed DPAC - its Chair (me), our leaders and our volunteers. This is just one example of many to suppress parents' voices. There are processes being used @VSB39 to shut us down and minimize our legislative right to participate in decisions.

Today is Feb 9th - only 2 days left to put your name on the letter to stop the rezoning of Fleming Elementary's basketball courts --- please sign and share ! ---> vancouverdpac.org/fleming-play-a…

@kpwerker Thank you so much for joining us!! It is a start. It was the first in person meeting in many years, and I’m proud of the work our members did to create this opportunity! Let’s continue to grow and create more chances to learn and engage.

@parents4TCP @VSB39 We will be using the data collected from this survey to speak on behalf of parents at the VSB Education Plan Committee meeting on May 15 as the stakeholders representing parents.

Attention PARENTS: Please engage in this brilliant initiative by the @VSB39 to survey Vancouver families, parents of kids in the public school system, on whether to re-format our education spaces as phone-free. Current outcome evidence says YES. 🙌 docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAI…

@parents4TCP @VSB39 Respectfully, this survey is put together by Vancouver DPAC not the VSB. As well, the current outcome of this survey is not public and VSB nor your organization has access to the responses. Please correct your post. Thank you.

Join us tomorrow night for an in-person parent education event featuring The Other People, a group of Vancouver community leaders representing a broad range of local cultural and religious groups, and anti-racism organizations vancouverdpac.org/generalannounc…

Here’s my story (with reporting from @CBCLarsen) on another year with no school for Olympic Village. Four years isn’t a “fact track” for anything — unless you’re a government making excuses.

What do you see as the role of publicly elected school board trustees? Tune in tonight at 5pm to see what changes are being proposed, everything is up for debate. I’d love to hear your thoughts. Agenda: media.vsb.bc.ca/media/Default/… Link to live stream: youtube.com/watch?v=lqWxuM… #bced

prompt VSB to work directly with these stakeholders, understand their concerns, and learn from their expertise to address this urgent issue. 3/3 #bced #inclusion #publiceducation #vancouver

We hope that hearing from these 5 unions, who employ staff who work directly in classrooms, and from parents of children who are directly impacted by the changes made to SSAs this year, will 2/3
