URGENT: PAC Positions Must Be Filled – Your School Community Needs You!

Dear Chantrell Creek Families,

Thank you for taking a moment to read this very important message from your Parent Advisory Council (PAC).

As we begin wrapping up the current school year, we’re already planning ahead — and that means we urgently need to fill key PAC executive positions for the 2025–2026 school year:

  • Chair

  • Vice Chair

  • Technology Coordinator

Without a Chair, the PAC cannot operate.

This means we lose over $35,000 in grants and funds currently in our account — money that supports critical programs and experiences for our students here at Chantrell Creek. It also means no more:

  • Hot Lunches

  • Spirit Wear

  • Movie & Game Nights

  • Book Fairs

  • Symphony Field Trips 

  • Guest Speakers & Young Actors

  • Math Festival

  • Fruit & Veggie Program

  • Music & Library Support

  • Athletics & Track Support

  • End-of-Year Carnival

  • Kindergarten T-Shirts

  • Sports Day Popsicles

  • Classroom Funds for Teachers

  • Grade 7 Graduation Support

  • Elgin Scholarships for Chantrell Alumni

  • School Supply Ordering Program

  • Freezie Fridays

  • Computer & Laptop Upgrade Support

These initiatives through our PAC only happen because parents like you step up.

We know these roles can sound daunting — but you won’t be doing it alone. Support is available, and the Chair/Vice Chair role can be shared between friends. If you’ve ever thought of getting involved, now is the time.


You can find a copy of our PAC Constitution and Bylaws including a description of each role HERE

Please reach out to us at hello@chantrellcreekpac.ca if you’d like to self-nominate, ask questions, or learn more.
