The Importance of the PAC in making decisions for Indigenous children

The Importance of the PAC in making decisions for Indigenous children February 5, 2021 A unique Indigenous-specific Parent Advisory Committee (PAC) is making a difference at a Victoria-area school. At the French-language Ecole Victor-Brodeur in Esquimalt, a group of five families work alongside the existing PAC to address the specific needs of their children and other Indigenous students. PACs are volunteer groups of parents that exist at every public school. They advise school officials on various matters and make school decisions, such as those around lunch and after school programs, or student events. Ruth Young, a parent on the Indigenous PAC at Ecole Victor-Brodeur, says having Indigenous voices at the table is crucial but at many schools, that representation is lacking.
