On Remembrance Day, the Sea to Sky School District honours the sacrifices of Canada’s veterans, including Indigenous veterans and all those who continue to serve. In the days leading up to Remembrance Day, students across our schools participated in ceremonies, created artwork, and learned about Canada’s history of service. These activities encourage reflection on the courage, resilience, and dedication of those who defended our freedoms, reminding us of the importance of peace, unity, and respect.

The Sea to Sky School District extends warm wishes to our students, families, and staff celebrating Diwali, the Festival of Lights! Diwali, which falls on November 8, 2026, is celebrated by millions around the world. It is a time of joy, togetherness, and reflection, symbolizing the victory of light over darkness and good over evil. Wishing you all a joyous Diwali filled with love, peace, and prosperity!

In honour of Indigenous Veterans Day on November 8, the Sea to Sky School District recognizes the sacrifices and contributions of First Nations, Métis, and Inuit veterans who have served in uniform. Indigenous peoples in Canada have a long-standing history of military service, with thousands bravely enlisting during major conflicts, from World War I and World War II to present-day peacekeeping missions. Their courage, resilience, and dedication to peace have left a lasting impact on Canada and the world. On November 8, we express our gratitude to all Indigenous veterans as we acknowledge their invaluable role in shaping our shared history and protecting our freedoms.

As we head into the winter months, please remember: schools remain OPEN unless a closure is announced. If a closure is necessary, families will be notified by 7:00 am. Read our winter weather reminder for information about school closures, bus service and where to find updates.
