Our Values
At Chilliwack DPAC, we believe that strong public education is rooted in respectful collaboration, inclusive representation, and the meaningful engagement of parents and caregivers.
We are committed to:
Equity & Inclusion
We honour the diverse voices, experiences, identities, and cultures of families across our district. Every parent deserves to be heard and valued, and every student deserves to thrive.
Partnership & Collaboration
We believe that working together with parents, PACs, educators, Indigenous communities, district leadership and the greater community leads to stronger outcomes for all students.
Respectful Communication
We create space for listening, learning, and constructive conversation, even when perspectives differ, because respectful relationships are the foundation of progress.
Student-Centered Advocacy
Our work is always guided by what’s best for students. We speak up to ensure their well-being, rights, and individual strengths remain at the heart of public education in Chilliwack.
