Dear Hamber parents and guardians,
Please drop by the Public Information Session tomorrow anytime between 4:00 and 7:00 in the school gym. This is the one-and-only chance for parents and the community-at-large to view the proposed plans of the new seismically-upgraded Eric Hamber Secondary. You will have a chance to complete a feedback card including the TOP 3 things that you would like to see as part of the new Hamber. Please keep in mind that the current design of the new school:
- Does not include an auditorium.
- There is not enough gym space and outdoor play fields.
- The fashion design space has been eliminated.
We strongly encourage everyone to take the time to fill out a card, as the data collected will be summarized and reported back to the Ministry of Education. Your opinion counts and we do have the ability to make changes so your input is needed!
We currently have 1,500 signatures on the petition! A big thank you to those who have signed! Please circulate it to your friends and family members! And thank you to those of you who have written letters!
Information regarding the seismic replacement is on our website at www.hamberpac.ca. Hamber PAC has written a letter (click here) to the Minister of Education, Mr. Rob Fleming expressing concerns regarding the deficiencies of the new school design. We encourage everyone to do the same. Let’s make some noise so that our concerns are heard. Please write to:
Please sign our petition on change.org!
The PAC and the Eric Hamber Alumni Assn. have started a petition on change.org. We strongly encourage you to sign it and forward to your friends and family and ask them to do the same. Let’s send a strong message to the Provincial Government and the Vancouver School Board that building a new school without the proper facilities is unacceptable!
