The Aboriginal Greeting was provided by former Sutherland graduate and Squamish Nation member Adina Williams, who welcomed guests in her traditional Squamish language. The guests were entertained by the Seycove jazz band, Koop DeVille, under the direction of Chris Barnes. It was a beautiful way to start the event.

Mark Pearmain,
Superintendent, thanked the group for their years of service on behalf of the
Board of Education and Executive Committee: “We live in a world where the work
that you do in supporting the education of each child is becoming more
critically important. Being a global citizen that is tolerant, thoughtful, open-minded,
critical in analysis and willing to think of others is a set of skills that
allow us to be leaders not just in North Vancouver but on a global scale. For
the past 25 years and the next 25 years to come, that is what we, as the North
Vancouver School District, will continue to strive for. Our learners will
become leaders.” says Pearmain.
