Non-Instructional Day Scheduled for Friday, May 15
Comox Valley Schools is advising families and staff that a Non-Instructional Day will take place on Friday, May 15, 2026, following a decision of the Board of Education.
This Non-Instructional Day aligns with provincial requirements under the School Calendar Regulation, which requires all school districts in British Columbia to include at least one non-instructional day each year focused on Indigenous student achievement and learning. The day is intended to provide dedicated time for staff to deepen understanding of Indigenous histories, cultures, and perspectives, and to support ongoing Truth and Reconciliation efforts within public education.
