District Diversity Dance
Attention All Students, on Wednesday March 1st the Burnaby School District will be hosting the 1st District Diversity Dance since 2020. This dance is open to all high school students in the Burnaby school district, in the spirit of celebrating the diversity and inclusivity of our students. The dance will be held from 6pm-9pm at Byrne Creek Community School. Tickets will be on sale in the school office from Wednesday February 1st until Tuesday February 28th for $10.
