Unfortunately, we had to cancel the contract workshop that was originally planned to take place early 2022. Plans are underway for an in-person Fall Contract Workshop on Saturday October 29th. We want to ensure that Chapter Executives and Chapter Representatives have ample notice of the October 29 workshop so that it can be communicated to Contract Representatives. Details and registration information will come out early in the Fall. Any questions can be directed to the Member Support Services team.

The Principl(ed) Podcast with host Chris Horton is a made-in-Canada monthly series that connects with BC school Principals and Vice-Principals who are working everywhere in the province, from the smallest rural schools to the bustling urban centres. 

The Principl(ed) Podcast is on hiatus until the 2022-2023 school year begins. We are excited to bring you the voices of education leaders across the province when we are back in September.
