CBSPAC Execs are elected every year at the Annual General Meeting, which is typically held in September of the school year. Nominations for Executives are accepted throughout the year and elections are held during the AGM.

Every role is appreciated and so helpful to the success of our PAC. It truly takes a village!

We love volunteers! Sign up on our volunteer spreadsheet to help out at PAC fundraising events and other fundraising efforts such as bottle drives, tree chipping and hot lunch.

If you’d like to learn more and be included in our committee of volunteers please email cordovabaypac@gmail.com.

We will throw out opportunities to contribute throughout the year with things like specific event help, small tasks and calls for volunteers for things like bake sales, freezie days etc.

It takes a ton of volunteers to run our school events successfully. We appreciate every hour of time our parents and families contribute to make each year a success

Cook for a bake sale, attend the Hoot-n-Howl, buy a 50/50 ticket at our events, purchase Purdy’s holiday chocolates, order hot lunches & popcorn for your students, use our Flipgive code on your online shopping & submit your Country Grocer receipts.

Look for various fundraising efforts throughout the school year such as Royals Hockey Chuck-a-puck, ArtCards, Garden Works gift cards, Cordova Bay School apparel, and many others.

There are so many ways to contribute and we appreciate your participation so much!

We love our events because they are a source of school pride, provide meaningful engagement for everyone in the Cordova Bay Elementary community, and they’re just fun!

We host an annual Welcome Back to School BBQ, the Hoot-n-Howl for Halloween, a year end Family Fun Fair, Parent Social, and support other school events such as Holiday concerts & school plays.

The Hot Lunch program is a major source of PAC fundraising. Orders are entered by parents/guardians through the Healthy Hunger website.

Our Hot Lunch Coordinator works closely with food outlets to bring in healthy, nutritious and fun lunches. If you have input on food options, restaurants that you’d like to see in the future or cost, please let us know.

We typically have 12 hot lunches per year. There will be a few instances where they may seem close together due to vendor availability or timing with school closures. Hot lunch is for everyone! If you are finding it difficult to keep up with the cost of hot lunch and would like your child to receive a meal, please reach out to the PAC President or the Principal.

Hot Lunch ordering deadline is on the Sunday before the Friday of the Hot Lunch. We usually send reminders through our school’s Newsletters.

Don’t hesitate to email us at cordovabaypac@gmail.com and we can see if we can add to the order if we’re still able to.

In accordance with our School’s zero waste policy as well as the requirement of Zero Waste CRD Grant funding, we need to keep our school free from trash and to recycle all parts of the Hot Lunch appropriately.

This means that our Hot Lunch volunteers are washing and recycling all beverage containers ordered such as juice boxes and milk cartons.

Any other food packaging that cannot be recycled at school are sent home with students so that they may be washed and recycled at home.

We appreciate your cooperation!

Hot Lunch is totally optional. We realize that Hot Lunch may not work for families for various reasons.

As mentioned above, if you would like your child to receive hot lunch and are finding it difficult to afford the cost, please contact the PAC President or the Principal to receive instructions on how to have this cost covered. Your child will appear on the class list in the same format as all other orders.

Yes! We typically hold three bottle drive events throughout the school year. Please save your returnables for our event, or return them to any Return-It Bottle Depot centers and mention Cordova Bay Elementary PAC and our account will be credited.

In the very near future, we will also be hosting a Bottle Depot Return-It bin on our school ground. Families of Cordova Bay Elementary and neighbors are welcome to return beverage containers by dropping them onto the bin.

Please help keep our school clean by not dumping and only returning accepted beverage containers. To find out what containers are accepted click HERE.

We make decision on funding, fundraising, events, purchases and others during our monthly meeting.

Meetings are held on the first Tuesday of the month at 7.30pm via Zoom. To access the Zoom link click HERE. All families of Cordova Bay Elementary are welcome and encouraged to participate.

Typically a representative from the School Administration will be present during the meeting, such as the School Principal and/or the Vice Principal. As well as most of our Executives.
