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
School Council meetings start at 6:00 PM. They will be followed by the Buffalo Rubbing Stone Parent Association meeting. Meetings are usually hosted on Microsoft Teams.
School councils formalize parents' voice in educational matters at the school level and reaffirm their meaningful involvement in their children's education. For this reason, all parents are regarded as members of the school council and are encouraged to attend monthly meetings to provide advice about important issues that impact our school and get involved in planning community building events and fundraisers.
