Message from the Chair – February 2023

Many boards across the province have been given the opportunity to articulate how sexual orientation and gender identity fits into the rich and vibrant tapestry of inclusion in our schools.

In 2012, the Board of Education of School District No. 46 (Sunshine Coast) developed a district specific policy regarding sexual orientation and gender identity.

I am pleased that we had a calm and peaceful winter break and we have returned to a place where breaks welcome periods of rest and are predictable for our students, staff and community.
