requirements of the Ministerial Order and puts student safety first. Unfortunately, on January 02, 2025, we were advised that the School District 61 Board voted against the Safety Plan created as a result of the collaborative meetings, which raised our concerns. These concerns were compounded on January 6, 2025, when the School District 61 Board posted on their website the three Safety Plans they submitted to you, in conjunction with a memo which appears to assign blame and further entrench the Board's position. There is nothing collaborative about the response from the School District 61 Board. As we have been patiently and respectfully trying to come to a mutually agreed upon resolution for an extended period, including the initial committee which was struck several years ago, we have reached a point where we no longer see a productive and meaningful path forward collaborating with the current School District 61 Board. Regrettably, we as police leaders have lost confidence in the School District 61 Board. We remain steadfast in our commitment to student safety and will always be at the table to advocate for student safety and healthy relationships. Thank you for your continued commitment to student safety, we are here to assist you in anyway we can and look forward to participating in next steps. DEnt.

The ‘22 civic elections saw cops in #yvr unprecedentedly endorse right wing mayoral and council candidates. Surely we will see cops in #yyj endorsing #SB61 candidates in the ‘26 elections. The anti SOGI were handily defeated in ‘22, the political fight locally continues to be important.
