Our grade 6 and 7 students premiered a stage production of the opera “Bridges”, by Dr. Suzanne Windsor-Liscombe on Thursday, February 29, 2024.
The opera is inspired by the story of Ruby Bridges, a civil rights activist and the first black child to integrate into a New Orleans’ all white public school system. (https://www.rubybridges.com/)
We were honoured to have brought this story to the stage.

February is Black History Month
Every February, people across Canada participate in Black History Month events and festivities that honour the legacy of Black people in Canada and their communities. The 2024 theme for Black History Month is: “Black Excellence: A Heritage to Celebrate; a Future to Build”. This theme celebrates the rich past and present contributions and accomplishments of Black people in Canada, while aspiring to embrace new opportunities for the future.
Dear Families, Burnaby schools will once again be closed due to weather and road conditions on Thursday, January 18.
Take care and stay warm!
Dear Families,
Due to weather conditions, all schools in the District are CLOSED for instruction.
Please be safe if you need to be out and take care!
Thank you,
Confederation Park Staff
What is Black Excellence Day?
As a lead up to Black History Month, Black Excellence Day is a day to rejoice Black history and learn about Black stories, Black art and Black people, and a day to stand in solidarity with Black Canadians.
Black Excellence Day was created by Ninandotoo Society and takes place on January 15th each year.
This year the Ninandotoo Society is encouraging students to wear whatever they would like rather than encouraging the wearing of black shirts as in the past.
January 15th is in honour of the great civil rights leader, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. who was born on January 15, 1929.
Thank you to our school community for making the
Art Show Fundraiser on Friday night such a huge success! A special THANK YOU to our amazing PAC executive members who started working on this project last June and the many volunteers that helped before, during, and after the actual event!
We are fortunate to have such a generous and supportive school community.
Please support Confederation Park’s Fundraiser for the BC Cancer Foundation.
We have chosen this fundraiser in memory of our beloved Miss Jackie Fischer. You can make donations online through this link. In addition, we will be selling candles and cards at the Art Show’s Marketplace. All funds raised will be donated to the BC Cancer Foundation.
