POPDHH e-news: March 2025

Showcase:
Participants and their teachers will be getting additional information directly to their inboxes.
Local districts – if you wish to attend DHHproud Showcase on April 7th, please send us the headcount by April 1st (no joke!). Students, staff and any parents and siblings who may want to observe and cheer on are welcome. Lunch (sandwiches, desserts, fruit, coffee, tea, juice) will be provided. If there are any particular food allergies for anyone in your party, please inform us of that too so that we can make appropriate accommodations.
Please note that we are still working on the program for the day and will post that as soon as we can.

Friendship Day at Vancouver Aquarium:

Our DHHproud 2025 – Friendship Day will be held on Tuesday, April 8th, 2025 at Vancouver Aquarium from 10 am to 2 pm (however, participants are welcome to stay longer if they wish). Address: 1845 Abison Way, Vancouver. Districts will need to arrange their own transportation. POPDHH will sponsor admissions for students and chaperones according to the Vancouver Aquarium ratio rules. Additional adults over ratio may need to purchase their own admission. Food and beverages will not be provided for local districts –  bring your own snacks and water. Please dress for the weather – we will not be able to get in until everyone arrives and we purchase the admissions. We will provide the total headcount to the Aquarium at 10 am sharp. The Aquarium rules state that late arrivals will be responsible for their own admission at full price.

Photos: POPDHH will be taking photos during the event, for publishing in our newsletter and possibly sent to media outlets for publishing. Teachers will be responsible to flag for us if any of the students don’t have a media consent form signed by their parents (especially for any close up photos where the faces of the children may be clearly visible).
