The Transportation Department is reminding all students to have appropriate winter clothing when they ride the school bus. This will include but not limited to winter coats, winter footwear, head wear and hand protection.
In winter driving conditions, it is important to always be prepared for the unexpected. This is to ensure the safety of all school bus passengers if there were to be any delays while the bus is on route.
The project team has resubmitted an application for additional funding for both Dawson Creek and Tumbler Ridge childcare projects due to the escalation of costs since the initial application was submitted to the Ministry of Education and ChildCare in 2023. The new childcare facilities would create 74 new childcare spaces in Dawson Creek and Tumbler Ridge to provide support for families with young children.

The Crescent Park Elementary School Expansion Project in nearing its final stages. The five classroom expansion was originally announced in December 2023 and will give the school much needed space as the school is operating at 163% over capacity. Several major components of the project still need to be completed (hydro upgrade, water and sewer service, ground work) along with interior finishes; the project is on track to be completed during the 2025-2026 school year.
