Hi everyone,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I hope everyone who is attending the BCSSA fall Annual General Meeting is enjoying the crisp weather. Congratulations to Rohan Arul-pragasam for taking on the role of President and a very sincere thank you to Teresa Downs for her leadership and collaboration over her term. ECC has appreciated the excellent working relationship with the BCSSA and look forward to continuing to do so under Rohan\u2019s leadership. I\u2019d also like to congratulate Teresa for taking on a new role as the Superintendent of School District 42 (Maple Ridge) in February 2024!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In other news, please find important information below on the Province\u2019s new anti-vaping campaign and resources, new Career Exploration Events for K-12 students, <\/strong>and confirmation that Safer Schools Together <\/em>has been awarded a new three-year provincial safety contract after completing a competitive procurement process.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Have a great weekend everyone!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
