Volunteers Required for new Committee


Parksville Qualicum Retired Teachers
In view of the pending closure of 4 Elementary Schools in school district 69 a special committee is necessary to assist in the preservation of educational heritage items from these facilities.
Our School Board is being approached: to create a policy for educational heritage preservation (as recommended by Margaret Sutton, British Columbia Retired Teachers’ Heritage Committee), and  to  possibly provide a vacant room at one of the remaining open schools to display the heritage material (as has been accomplished in the Nanaimo-Ladysmith District).

Thank you for considering to volunteer in this worthy cause, as a recent quote from “Mr. Qualicum”, Art Skipsey, says  …”The history of this land is short and rich and we need to let people know about it.”

If you are interested in joining a local committee to preserve local educational  heritage send a message to our Heritage Chairperson, Sharon Cox Gustafson at sharoncg@shaw.ca. 

Let’s pull together, get involved and make this all become a reality.  Thank you for your support.
