Bonjour BP families.
Sports Day Rescheduled
The weekly message is a day earlier than usual, as I wanted to get the message out that the planned Sports Day for tomorrow is postponed due to the 25mm of rain expected. We hope to run it next Thursday, weather permitting. I do want to acknowledge the grade 9 students who took great care on planning this day for all students: Noelle, Madiha, Madison, Lilian, Farren, Ruhi, and Vivian.
Locker Clean Out
As we wrap up the school year, we will be doing locker clean outs starting next week. Please ensure that your child(ren) bring bags to take their belongings home with them. Locker cleanouts will occur Tuesday and Wednesday of next week.

BP's Commitment to Truth and Reconciliation for 2025-2026
In recognition of National Indigenous History Month in June and National Indigenous Peoples Day on June 21, the staff at BP has looked back on our current Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC) Commitment to Action to walk forward with a renewed commitment at the beginning of each school year.
Engaging in Truth & ReconciliACTION will contribute to meeting the 2024-2027 CBE Education Plan Goal of Truth & Reconciliation, Diversity & Inclusion, and the continued implementation of the Indigenous Education Lifelong Learning Holistic Framework.
The BP staff's commitment to Truth and Reconciliation for 2025-2026 is 62.2: Educate teachers on how to integrate Indigenous knowledges, languages, and teaching methods into classrooms (focus on professional learning and planning).
