The B.C. government recently announced funding to school parent advisory councils and district parent advisory councils to ensure extracurricular activities will be available when students can safely participate.
The money to Delta and other B.C. public and private schools comes from $11 million in community gaming grants.
"This has been a difficult year for everyone, and I'd like to acknowledge the hard work and creativity of parent advisory councils, which have worked tirelessly to find ways to continue to safely engage students in extracurricular activities," said Josie Osborne, Minister of Municipal Affairs, in a news release. "These activities contribute significantly to students' health and wellness by providing opportunities to connect, play and learn."
