The Legacy Grant Initiative was established in April 2019 to provide Parent Advisory Councils and Family of Schools with the opportunity to match their funds for initiatives with funds from the District's Business Company.

Today, the Legacy Grant continues to support students, Parent Advisory Councils and Family of Schools with funding for activities that are accessible to a diversity of learners, incorporate learner-centered experiences and demonstrate alignment to the District Strategic Plan, School Learning Plan and or the Aboriginal Enhancement Agreement.

The Board of Education, at its February 28, 2022 Public Board meeting, approved the criteria to include the following:

• School experiences: field trips, student retreats, student conferences, events, extracurricular club expenses
• Supplies: play and physical education equipment, library refresh
• Legacy Artwork: for a new school, or the reopening of an existing school

Approved projects may qualify for matching funds to a maximum of $10,000, and release time will not be considered.
