Dates have been selected in collaboration with neighbouring districts in Saanich (School District #63) and Sooke (School District #62) to align calendar dates, including spring and winter breaks, as much as possible.
All feedback can be submitted through email to community@sd61.bc.ca by听Friday, May 31, 2024, at 4 pm. The calendars will be finalized in June 2024.
