BCCPAC also host forums for PACs to share and seek advice from others on PAC issues.

NorthVanPac encourages our member PACs to check out their website, to join BCCPAC (BC Confederation of Parent Advisory Councils) and help them advocate for students and parents at the provincial level. We will pay the membership fees for PACs that sign up. Either let BCCPAC know we will pay when you sign up or let us know and we will re-imburse you.

For those interested in "Speaking Up!" for their children, we have invited Ann Whittaker, Past President of BCCPAC,  to speak to us on the subject at our November 15th DPAC meeting.
