Advocating for our Schools


The North Vancouver Parent Advisory Council (NVPAC) is asking all parents in North Vancouver to contact their MLAs by phone, by mail and by email.

You, as parents and the public, represent first hand the voting community. It is up to you to inform the government as to how their cuts to school and PAC funding are impacting your schools and your children. We ask you to insist on funding for education: it is not a luxury and it cannot sustain continual erosion.

NVPAC is sending letters to our government, but as an organization, we do not vote. You do. You are who the government needs to hear from, so please, send a letter. Send a bunch of letters. Overwhelm the 2010 budget consultation survey with responses (BC 2010 Budget Consultation Survey). Cuts to education need to be reversed to maintain the quality of education in BC.

NVPAC School Funding Primer

Want to know more about the situation? Why we are asking you to do this? What to do? Please read  our primer on school funding.  We've tried to capture what you need to do and why as well as we can there.  But if you want to know more, feel free to ask us or even better come to an NVPAC or School Board public meeting.  For more information contact info@northvanpac.org
