Welcome
A little about ourselves
PAC stands for 'Parent Advisory Committee' or 'Parent Advisory Council". PACs offer parents ways to be involved in and influence the culture of their children's school. Members of the PAC executive can be advisors for the school community to the Vancouver School Board, the city of Vancouver and the Ministry of Education. PACs manage a budget that is to be used to enhance the educational experience for children at the school. At Lord Nelson, our PAC believes strongly in supporting the school's community and so we plan activities and projects that get kids and families together having fun. Our funding comes from annual fundraisers , direct donation, as well, as gaming grant money.
Our executive members aren't able to run every event or fundraiser. We rely on Nelson's amazing parent body to help out! Please consider getting involved. We will email when we are in need of volunteers or contact us.
