How is Westmont keeping the school facilities clean?

Will Westmont offer school or campus tours or visits during 2020-2021?

What is Westmont doing to ensure the school is prepared, as the pandemic evolves?

Our COVID Safety plan is built from the latest recommendations provided by the BCCDC and Ministry of Education. Westmont has also assembled a strong Pandemic Response Team that meets regularly to assess the latest COVID information and to guide our community.  The Team’s focus is on health and supporting our families while keeping our school strong.  We are lucky to have the time, experience and energy of this diverse group that includes healthcare, education, finance, legal, engineering, and entrepreneurs.

Is there any temporary financial assistance if I am concerned about not being able to afford the school fees for 2021/2022?
