Honouring Truth and Reconciliation Across Sea to Sky Schools

In the lead-up to the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation on September 30, students and staff across Sea to Sky Schools have been participating in learning, activities and events to honour the day and deepen their understanding of Truth and Reconciliation. Throughout the week, students and staff have also been encouraged to wear orange shirts to honour Survivors of residential schools, remember the children who never returned home, and recognize the ongoing impacts of the residential school system.

We encourage our school communities to continue learning, reflecting and taking part in meaningful actions toward reconciliation. Learn more about the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation and ways to learn, reflect and participate by clicking on the headline.

Principal's message

Welcome to Mamquam Elementary. I feel very proud to serve as the Principal of this caring and inclusive school community. At Mamquam, I want every child to feel safe, valued, and like they truly belong. I believe strong relationships are at the heart of a positive school experience, and I care deeply about creating a school where students feel seen, supported, and celebrated for who they are.
My professional passions include inclusive practices, student well-being, equity, and building strong connections in our school community. These values shape the way I lead and the way we work together as a school. Guided by our Raven Values — Community Minded, Thinker, and Communicator — we strive to create a culture of kindness, belonging, respect, and care for the whole child.
I am grateful to be part of the Mamquam community and to work alongside such wonderful students, staff, and families each day. Thank you for being part of our school.
