Thank Yous

The Holiday Giving Tree wishes have all been fulfilled! Thank you so much to our amazing Lochside Community for helping make some wishes come true!

Our two-day Lochside Lizards Food Drive was a success! We were able to fill up some Lochside food hampers along with a cargo van filled with lots of nice non-perishable items for our the Mustard Seed. Thanks so much to our LEPAC Exec volunteers, Tom, Joan and some Lochside students for helping us to collect and distribute all of the items. And of course a very big thank you to everyone who contributed what they could to this event.


LEPAC Exec Position

We are currently seeking a Co-COPACS Rep to join Leanne in attending District-Level Parent Council meetings. COPACS meets once a month for a couple of hours and our reps report back to LEPAC important news from these meetings. This year all meetings are being held on Zoom. This is a great opportunity to learn about what goes on in the Saanich School District and help out our Lochside Community!


For more information or if you are interested in helping out in this role, please contact Anya, Heather and Leanne at lochsidepac63@gmail.com 


A huge thank-you to Reet Dangerfield who filled this role for many years. Reet, your contributions have greatly enriched our community and we are so so appreciative. You will be missed!
