Any amount of time goes a long way to helping the GPAC fundraise and create great opportunities for our school. Whether you can only do a few days a year, or you can help out more, please put your name below and we will contact you throughout the year to see if you are available.

Please know that hot lunch is our biggest fundraiser and always needs volunteers, check back frequently to see if you can help out with a hot lunch shift.

This committee determines the hot lunch providers, the days of the week the service will be offered, and runs a group of parent volunteers who share hot lunch days. If you are interested in helping, please contact gechotlunch@gmail.com .

Parent volunteers are required for hot lunch set up and distribution each week. This is our biggest fundraiser and requires a robust group of volunteers who enjoy the added perk of visiting their kids during lunch hour.

This is a program offered to schools in BC by the Provincial Government. Schools are provided a single portion per student 10 times per school year. A school parent must have a food safe certificate to enable us to participate. The snack is delivered to the school on Tuesdays and the parent coordinator distributes it to the classrooms.

This committee works with the school, municipality and police to find ways to improve and sustain traffic and safety in the school zone. If you are interested in volunteering on this committee, please contact Robyn Markham.
