A collaborative network of DPACs working together to strengthen public education.
The BC DPAC Coalition is a collaborative network of District Parent Advisory Councils (DPACs) across British Columbia. Our coalition fosters flexible, issue-based collaboration — empowering DPACs to come together on specific topics without the expectation of endorsing every initiative.
We believe in the power of parent voice to strengthen B.C.'s public education system.
Our coalition approach allows DPACs to join forces on an ad hoc basis, creating strength through collaboration while respecting each district’s unique context.
We connect DPACs across the province to share insights, advocacy tools, meeting strategies, and communication resources that help strengthen local parent leadership.
By working together, we can shine a brighter spotlight on the challenges and opportunities facing public education, ensuring that the parent voice is heard at local and provincial levels.
When common concerns arise, we help DPACs align their efforts — whether it's issuing joint statements, meeting with officials, or launching province-wide initiatives.
We collaborate witih other parent advocacy groups such as the BC Education Facilities Committee on focused issue areas.
The provincial government is underfunding school districts, failing to fully cover broad inflationary costs including inflationary impact on collective agreements and increased benefits costs.
