North Vancouver School District wins BRAVO! Award


On October 24, 2022, the North Vancouver School District won an Award of Distinction during the 2022 BRAVO! Awards Gala hosted by the Canadian Association of Communicators in Education (CACE).

“We are thrilled and honoured to receive this recognition from the Canadian Association of Communicators in Education,” said Communications Manager Lisa Dalla Vecchia. “Our communications team is responsible for providing strategic communications and public relations support for all our schools and the various district departments to ensure stakeholders and education partners remain informed of important initiatives, events and news regarding the North Vancouver School District.”

This award is particularly significant in that it recognized the efforts of the organizing team of Lisa Dalla Vecchia, Director of Instruction Adam Baumann, and Communications Assistant Maddy Phillips who together launched the school district’s inaugural Outdoor Safety and Emergency Preparedness Open House (May 2022). This family-friendly community event was intended to promote the health, safety and well-being of students, families and North Vancouver community; build the community’s awareness and resiliency around outdoor safety and emergency preparedness; and showcase the expertise of local emergency management bodies and first responders.

“We are fortunate to have a communications team to provide effective communication strategies to stakeholders and education partners across the school district. Families, students and staff are the beneficiaries of these efforts,” said Superintendent Dr. Pius Ryan. “It is important to increase awareness and understanding of the critical management role played by professional communicators.”
