Seismic Upgrades for BC's Highest Risk Schools

11/19/2017

0 Comments

 
Parents have asked that the information and link to a petition being circulated by a parent from Henry Hudson Elementary School in Vancouver below be shared. Please see below. 

For more background and context on this topic see a letter sent by the Parent Advisory Network (PAN) to the Federal Government HERE.


​Hello,

You are receiving this note as a PAC representative or school principal of one of the BC schools considered at highest risk of collapse during an earthquake (see full listing of H1 schools at https://www2.gov.bc.ca/gov/content/education-training/administration/resource-management/capital-planning/seismic-mitigation-program).  With the recent change of government, new school board trustees (in Vancouver) and the recent earthquake in Mexico, I’ve started a petition calling on the BC government to accelerate seismic upgrades for all high risk BC schools.  Now is the time for change! 
 
I know that many other PACs, parent and staff organizations have been tirelessly advocating for similar goals and I am asking you to consider circulating this to the parent population at your school.  Our PAC has helped to raise awareness by providing the link in their latest parent newsletter and on the PAC website.   The petition currently has ~250 signatures, but we are hoping to have many more before presenting it to the BC Minister of Education as a reminder that we continue to monitor and expect progress on this issue.  I hope you will join in support of all parents, children and staff in high risk BC schools.   
 
Lastly, if your PAC or seismic committee would like stay connected with ours on this issue, please let me know and we’ll keep you informed.  We are stronger together.

You can read more and sign the petition here:

Thanks!

SPUD PAC Fundraiser 

For those of you that are interested in grocery delivery or those of you that already use Spud.ca, we’ve added David Livingstone Elementary to their fundraising recipient list.  It’s a really easy way to get quality fruits and vegetables and it helps our school - Doesn’t that sound great?

How it Works
Go to Spud.ca and sign up for a free account.  You can purchase your regular groceries and select one of their Fundraising Boxes with fresh fruits and vegetables.  Your groceries get delivered to you…and SPUD donates 25% of the Fundraising Box purchase (produce only) directly to David Livingstone Elementary PAC.  It's that simple.  You can do it once or you can do it as many times as you like.  There is no end date so every time you purchase one of their fundraising boxes you will be supporting our school.  Anyone can do it so tell all your friends, family, neighbours, colleagues at work, people you don't like... anyone!

Attached is more information. 

If you have any questions email fundraising@spud.ca or phone SPUD fundraising at 604-215-7783 or contact me directly.
