PAC membership 

Are you a parent with a child at Laura Secord Elementary (English or French stream)? If so, you’re welcome to be part of the Secord Parent Advisory Council (Secord PAC)!


Parents choose to get involved in different ways. Some parents choose to help out with fundraising activities, such as coordinating the Neufield Farms fundraiser or Book Sale, volunteering for the annual Spring Carnival, or taking part in a Silent Auction or buying an apple pie. Others are diligently occupied with ensuring that the funds raised are spent wisely on programs and needs within the school. Many parents volunteer their time to ensure the school is a safer, better and more enjoyable place.

 The PAC is a great demonstration of our caring as parents. We all seek to ensure that our children have the best education in a vibrant and safe environment. We want Secord to be the best it can possibly be.


Parents can also choose to take on a PAC executive team member role. The PAC exec team is elected each September, and coordinates the talents of the many parent volunteers to achieve the maximum benefit for the students and the school. They liaise with school administration to bring forward, and provide updates to parents during PAC general meetings.


 Volunteer with PAC

Please contact secordpac@gmail.com if you would like more information or would like to volunteer and just don’t know how to get involved!


There are many opportunities to get involved in the school as the many events, initiatives and programs the PAC organizes all require volunteers in order to run smoothly!
