The school also acknowledges learning, working, and playing on the traditional ancestral and unceded territory of the Sto:lo people and expresses a commitment to reconciliation and peace.

Transportation, Parking, and Getting Here

To reduce traffic congestion at the side door entrance, the school uses multiple doors for student entry and exit by grade grouping (rather than using the front doors). A staff position for bus driver is listed on the school’s staff page, but specific bus routes/times are not provided in the sources.
