We will be electing for all executive positions and would like representatives from all our PACs to attend to ensure we have quorum for the meeting.

Positions available include:
  • Chair - Primary liaison with District, chairs executive and general meetings
  • Vice-Chair - Assists Chair
  • Treasurer - Manages DPAC Finances
  • Secretary - Records meeting minutes

  • BCCPAC Liaison - Communicates with BCCPAC
  • Communications - Manages website and email lists
  • Members-at-Large (multiple) - Represent NorthVanPAC on various committees

North Van PAC is your District PAC. We represent parents at the School District level and we need volunteers to come out to the AGM and join the executive to help maintain the strong parent voice in our school district.
  • Our volunteers get involved in how education is delivered in North Vancouver by providing the parent perspective to the school board on school programs and curriculum, the school calendar, student assessment, new projects (for example, renovating/rebuilding schools), and other funding/spending issues.
  • We help school PACs share issues and best practices.
  • We help parents support their children's education by arranging speakers and workshops. For example Steve Dotto spoke to more than 700 of you in March about social media and parenting. 
We need executive and members-at-large. There is a lot of opportunity to get involved. We have small roles, such as representing parents on various committees and larger roles on our executive for those who want more involvement. We need volunteers to represent parents on committees related to :
  • School program and capital funding, 
  • Education policies
  • Anti-bullying, special needs and other support programs 
  • Potential and current school programs
  • Changes to curriculum and graduation requirements
  • Parent communication and parent education
  • and many other parts of education. 

If you are interested in having a voice at the School District level we'd be glad to talk with you, to discuss the commitment we need, to see what interests you delete have have and invite you to see what we do.

Join us at our Annual General Meeting: May 23rd, 7 pm. Mountainview room - 5th floor - 2121 Lonsdale Ave
