One of the most important ways parents/guardians and community members can make a meaningful difference for students is by participating on the school council. Under the Education Act, a school council is a collective association designed to advise the principal and the CBE Board of Trustees on matters related to the school. School councils have legislated advisory and decision-making authority defined within the Education Act and the School Councils Regulation. They are different from Parent Societies & Associations, whose main function is to raise funds for the school. You can find more details in the CBE School Council Handbook.

About Our School Council

All McKenzie Lake parents are invited to attend the monthly meetings of our school council. The School Council is comprised of both parents and staff representatives. Our goal is to work together to create a positive learning environment for our children. Through the council, we can strengthen communication between home and school. We discuss and plan for our school’s future. We also support special events, such as our Welcome BBQ and Family Dance, that provide opportunities to come together as a school community . School Council generally promotes one fund-raiser per year that raises funds to support activities that can't be paid with Casino dollars. Highlights, dates and times of future meetings are published on this website.
