We overcame the paper shortage, but we did not count on a shortage of biodegradable mailing bags from our mailing house, or the extensive flooding that has affected all of Canada Post’s provincial distribution of mail and parcels. We understand that our Metro Vancouver members have likely received their November Principl(ed) magazine issues the week of December 13, and that the mailing will continue to every corner of the province. Our apologies for the delay: we can’t wait for you to read this issue!

Who has gone the extra mile to support your school community? BCPVPA Chapters are invited to nominate individuals, organizations, and businesses who contribute their time, expertise, and passion to make a difference in the lives of BC students. Community partners bring special opportunities and services to schools – now is the time to celebrate all that they do. 

This year, it is even easier to nominate a community partner. You can fill in the online form or follow the instructions on our Member Portal to email your nomination. If you have any questions, email erin@bcpvpa.bc.ca.
