Many schools across the province are drawing colouring an eagle feather template created by Gitxsan artist Michelle Stoney and hanging the feathers on fences to remember the 215 children whose remains were found at a former residential school in Kamloops, B.C..
Within the Vancouver School Board, Sir James Douglas Annex is reporting a new exposure on December 7, Champlain Heights Community Elementary is reporting one on December 3 and 4, and Eric Hamber Secondary is reporting one on December 1 and 2.
The private West Coast Christian School is also reporting an exposure on December 7.
Exposures occur when someone attends school while infectious. Contact tracers get in touch with their close contacts directly, and anyone who does not receive a phone call can still go to school as usual.
