Our Amazing Board for 2023-2024

Time well spent!

Our wonderful and supportive volunteer board of directors, elected each year at our AGM, meets once monthly to ensure our goals are being met. Even better – they work as a solid team to set those goals and share their expertise in a variety of fields.

Our Parent Board

As a parent of an SPG child, you have an opportunity to play a direct role in determining our policies and programs. Each registering parent becomes a Direct member of our society and has a vote at our Annual General Meeting (non-registering parents are Associate members). SPG is governed by a volunteer Parent Board, comprising Direct and Associate members, which meets up to eight times each year. We encourage you to become involved whether as a Board member or by sharing your skills with the society. We need your expertise, time and talents to make SPG flourish.
