On Sunday, October 29, 2023, the North Vancouver School District won a Coup de Cœur for the Superintendent’s Report during the 2023 BRAVO! Awards Gala hosted by the Canadian Association of Communicators in Education (CACE) in Montreal, QC.

"We’re thrilled and honoured to receive this recognition from the Canadian Association of Communicators in Education,” said Lisa Dalla Vecchia, communications manager. “Our small but mighty team is responsible for providing communications leadership and support for all of our schools and district departments to ensure our community remains informed of important news regarding the North Vancouver School District.”

“We’re fortunate to have a communications team to support the school district articulate its commitment to continual improvement to realize its vision, achieve its strategic goals, and uphold its values. Students, staff, families and the wider community are the beneficiaries of these efforts,” said Superintendent Dr. Pius Ryan. “It’s important to increase awareness and understanding of the critical management role played by professional communicators in public schooling.”

The CACE BRAVO! Awards, presented by SchoolBundle, are the only Canada-wide awards program specifically designed to recognize excellence in school board communications.
