It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved colleague, Jennifer Tong, on Aug. 24. Jen is the founding member of the BCCEC and had been involved with the CEC at the national & international level. She will be greatly missed.

Out of respect for the health and safety of our members, educators, and parents, we have decided to postpone any future workshops for the short term. Thank you.”
