Our Story
In 2019, a strategic advisory group of key stakeholders and interested parties in Community Education and Community Schools was formed, and the members of this group continued to work together to support the expansion and enhancement of community schools across the province.
This experienced and knowledgeable group formed the BC CommUNITY Schools Alliance Society. The mission and vision for the alliance are congruent with that developed by BCCSAC, which is to ensure equity of access to needed services and support for children and families across BC.
