The Sea to Sky School District extends warm wishes to our students, families, and staff celebrating Diwali, the Festival of Lights! Diwali, which falls on November 8, 2026, is celebrated by millions around the world. It is a time of joy, togetherness, and reflection, symbolizing the victory of light over darkness and good over evil. Wishing you all a joyous Diwali filled with love, peace, and prosperity!

In honour of Indigenous Veterans Day on November 8, the Sea to Sky School District recognizes the sacrifices and contributions of First Nations, Métis, and Inuit veterans who have served in uniform. Indigenous peoples in Canada have a long-standing history of military service, with thousands bravely enlisting during major conflicts, from World War I and World War II to present-day peacekeeping missions. Their courage, resilience, and dedication to peace have left a lasting impact on Canada and the world. On November 8, we express our gratitude to all Indigenous veterans as we acknowledge their invaluable role in shaping our shared history and protecting our freedoms.
