By Ms. M. MacMillan, Director of Communications

WPGA’s Board of Directors and Campaign Executive Committee (CEC) are working with the Province of British Columbia to secure the school’s lease extension and to plan for the launch of the Capital Campaign. We will continue to update families and staff on the lease and launch activities as more information becomes available. 

This week we would like to introduce the Marketing and Communications Committee (MCC), which meets regularly to provide communications guidance for the Campaign and to develop marketing materials that will be used when the Campaign launches.

Since 1996, West Point Grey Academy has gratefully resided on the Jericho Lands, the unceded traditional territories of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam Indian Band), Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish) Nation and sə̓lílwətaʔɬ (Tsleil-Waututh) Nation. Honoured to learn and play on these beautiful lands, we endeavour to be a leader in Indigenous education. In creating shared understanding and opportunities, we hope to help foster a more equitable society for all.
