I met with BC’s Minister of Ed & Child Care, Lisa Beare, during the BCSTA Academy. A few days later, as Chair, we had a meeting where I advocated for 11 key priorities that reflect our district’s urgent capital needs & systemic funding requirements.📚 #sd23ed #sd23ed #sd23learns

Proud to volunteer at our School District’s Pride Booth. Students shared how much it means to see their district represented. Visibility matters—it shows our 2SLGBTQIA students, staff, and families they are seen, valued, supported, and belong. 🌈

Amazing rendition of A Christmas Carol with OKM’s Triple Threat Theatre Company! The clever production, rich moral themes & set in a Victorian world, made for an authentic period experience. Kudos to Ryan Grenier, the cast, crew, & everyone involved — it’s a must-see. Bravo! 👏🎭
