Honouring our Roots, Nourishing our Connections - ECEBC Conference 2025

SD27 Early Childhood Educators joined colleagues from throughout the Province at the annual Early Childhood Educators of BC Conference (held for the first time in two locations simultaneously, Kamloops and Richmond BC). What an uplifting experience it was to join hundreds of educators who share a common passion for early learning. Educators participated in keynote presentations to the collective group and were able to connect with other educators in separate workshop offerings both Friday and Saturday. We extend gratitude to the entire ECEBC team for their efforts in creating an amazing learning opportunity closer to our community enabling our team from SD27 to attend. Educators appreciated the opportunity to connect with the newly appointed "ECEBC Ambassador for the North" Cari Rawling. In attendance from SD27 were StrongStart Educators; Elke Baechmann, Jennifer Jones, Suzanne Morin, Tara Flanagan, Norma Schindle, and Apryl Soichuk. Director of Instruction, Wendell Hiltz and Early Learning Coordinator, Beulah Smith.
