On March 2, 2001, sections 10 (c) and (d) of the BC School Accreditation Regulation was amended, changing the due date for a school’s accreditation progress report from June 30th to December 31st. This change will provide schools with at least a month to prepare their report after receiving the October student data from the Ministry, and provides time for district review and input. It also aligns the timing of the school and district annual reports so that all can be sent to the Ministry at the same time.

British Columbia is observing a Day of Mourning today in response to the heartbreaking events in Tumbler Ridge earlier this week and we invite our community to honour the lives lost and stand alongside everyone affected.
Our thoughts are with the families and loved ones of the victims, the students and staff at Tumbler Ridge Secondary School, the first responders, and the broader Tumbler Ridge community.
Resources, guidance for supporting conversations with children, a donation link, and a public condolence book can be found at gov.bc.ca/TumblerRidge.
