A new school initiative is helping students develop skills and strengthen community connections through real-world giving. Recently, Grade 11 students at Whistler Secondary School had the unique opportunity to distribute $5,000, which they donated to a local nonprofit organization, Zero Ceiling. This effort was made possible through the Youth and Philanthropy Initiative (YPI) Canada. Read the article for more details.

A Special Air Quality Statement has been issued for our region due to wildfire smoke. Smoke levels can shift quickly and vary across locations, increasing potential health risks. Schools have been advised to take precautionary measures, including limiting outdoor activities. HVAC systems with MERV-13 filters are running to help maintain indoor air quality.

All Sea to Sky School District schools are open today, Friday, June 13. We are closely monitoring the Dryden Creek wildfire situation, and if anything changes that might affect school operations, we will communicate with you immediately. In the meantime, please note that school administrators will continue to use their professional judgement regarding outdoor activities, particularly in the absence of any formal air quality alerts.

Creating environments where all individuals feel seen, supported, and able to thrive is part of who we are.
