Air Quality and School Operations

We are closely monitoring the Air Quality Health Index (AQHI) reported by Environment Canada, as conditions in our region may fluctuate in the coming days. We will be following the AQHI-recommended actions based on the level of air quality, and each school will continue to respond to changing conditions throughout the day to support the health and safety of students and staff. Please note, our HVAC systems are running continuously. All schools' air handling systems (HVAC) use MERV-13 filters, which are effective in capturing smoke particulates. For more information, we’ve shared a helpful resource from Vancouver Coastal Health.

About the Sea to Sky School District (No.48)

Nestled in the recreation-rich Sea to Sky corridor, just 45 minutes from Vancouver, our school district serves approximately 5,000 students. We are honoured to be teaching within a number of culturally vibrant communities, from Furry Creek to D'Arcy, including the main centres of Squamish, Whistler, and Pemberton. The District also serves six First Nation communities: Skwxwú7mesh Úxwumixw, Lil’wat, N’Quatqua, Samhquam Ucwalmicw, Skatin, Xa’xtsa, and the Metis, Inuit, and Off-Reserve Nations. We welcome a growing immigrant population and over 200 international students annually. Also rich with an abundance of active learning opportunities, our students love to learn here!
 
 
We create safe, purposeful, and powerful learning environments in order that all students can think critically, create, collaborate, contribute, and learn.
