On June 21, Sea to Sky School District recognizes National Indigenous Peoples Day. This day is an opportunity to honour and celebrate the cultures, languages, histories, and contributions of First Nations, Inuit, and Métis Peoples. As a district, we are grateful to live, learn, and work on the unceded and ancestral territories of the Sk̲wx̲wú7mesh Úxwumixw and St’át’imc Nations. We encourage our students, staff, families, and community members to take time to learn, reflect, and celebrate. Click the headline to learn more!

Throughout June, we celebrate the diversity, resilience, and contributions of 2SLGBTQIA+ communities. Sea to Sky School District is committed to fostering welcoming, inclusive, and safe learning environments where every student, staff member, and family feels valued, respected, and supported. Together, we continue to build schools where everyone can learn, belong, and thrive.

Creating spaces where everyone feels seen, respected, and a true sense of belonging is central to who we are as a school district. To learn more about our approach to SOGI-inclusive education, we invite parents and caregivers to explore our SOGI FAQs by clicking the headline of this news story.
