Please find attached an important announcement from Vancouver College Board Chair, Sue Dvorak that we wish to share with our community.
Vancouver College is a Catholic faith and learning community whose mission is the education of boys and young men from Kindergarten to Grade 12 in the Blessed Edmund Rice tradition.
The Our Next Century campaign is an extraordinary time in Vancouver College's history. Each gift will help us achieve our goal and make a significant difference to our students and educational program.
