Deputy Minister of Education and Child Care
Happy Friday, everyone. After an eventful week, I appreciate everyone’s patience and nimbleness as we collectively navigated the news of the September 19 federal holiday to reflect the National Day of Mourning to commemorate the funeral of Queen Elizabeth II. As announced earlier this week, all public K–12 schools across the province will be closed that day as well. Related, please see an update to the School Trustee Election Procedures in BC Guide. In other updates, please see information from the BCCDC on air quality that may be impacted by the ongoing wildfire smoke and more dates for erase training.
Have a great weekend.
