November 1, 2023

Dear BCCA Families,

It’s Giving Season at BCCA and we’re thrilled to participate in Giving Tuesday for the 5th year. This global movement, celebrated in over 90 countries, aligns perfectly with our values of Christ, Community, and Compassion.

As we approach Giving Tuesday on November 28th, we invite you to join our giving campaigns. There are two ways you can make a difference:

1. GIVING TO OUR SCHOOL

BCCA relies on partial government funding, and there’s a gap between tuition fees and operating costs. In the 2023-24 school    year, our goal is to raise $120,000 for our Annual Fund. Your donations, tax-deductible as we’re a non-profit, can be made through various methods:

1. Donate directly to BCCA online via Canada Helps or our website’s Donate Button.
2. E-Transfer to accounts@bccaschool.ca (use “bccaschool” as the password).
3. Email accounts@bccaschool.ca to make a donation by EFT with the amount.
4. Visit or call us at Fernwood Campus at 604-9418426 to make a donation.
