District Parent Advisory Council (DPAC)
In Abbotsford, we believe that parents are partners in education. Each school has a Parent Advisory Council (PAC) and families are encouraged to get involved. The Abbotsford District Parent Advisory Council (DPAC) brings together representatives from PACs across the district to support, encourage, and improve the quality of education and well-being of all students.
DPAC empowers PACs by fostering parent engagement, advocating for parent concerns, providing resources and education, and encouraging parent representation on district committees. As the collective voice of parents in Abbotsford, we work to ensure every school community is informed, included, and equipped to make a difference.
