2021 Partnership Awards Spotlight

Here is an example of the impact community partners can make in a school and/or district. Each week we will be shining a spotlight on a past recipient of the BCPVPA Partnership Award.

This week: Legacy Church of the Nazarene (Nominated by SD 36, Surrey)

Even through COVID-19 the Legacy Church of the Nazarene has supported the Bridgeview Elementary School (SD36) community through food banks and hampers, school-wide field trips and events, provision of school supplies, and afterschool activities and tutoring.

2022 Partnership Awards: Nominations are now Open!

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.
