Students and staff in Richmond are learning and working in seismically safer schools now that upgrades are complete at James Whiteside Elementary and William Bridge Elementary schools.

Rachna Singh, Minister of Education and Child Care, has released the following statement regarding the first day of school: 

An addition at École K.B. Woodward is now complete, providing a more modern learning experience for students, one of the many investments being made in Surrey schools.

Despite global uncertainty, B.C. ended fiscal 2022-23 with a surplus and higher-than-expected revenue that the Province put to work helping people and communities with higher costs and growing needs.

Early childhood professionals educated in languages other than English will have reduced costs and more support to become certified to work in British Columbia’s child care sector, as a result of financial support to translate educational documents into English.
