We are excited to announce that BCT is now "on the map" - the Canadian Map of Arts and Learning! We are part of CNAL - The Canadian Network for Arts & Learning. CNAL is a national organization with a mission "to unite local, regional and national arts and learning communities in a network for exchange, research and collaboration, cultivating a more creative, innovative and prosperous Canada." We believe their mission lines up well with our mission of "shaping lives through theatre education" and we are glad to work with them. More info about CNAL can be found by clicking the button below.
We advocate on your behalf directly to the BC Ministry of Education. Our association has the advantage of being a voice for both public school teachers and private / independent teachers who many times are not union members and still want their voices to be heard in Victoria. We also have elected student leaders called the Provincial Thespian Officers who give students a voice in advocacy in Victoria.
We participate in Theatre In Our Schools month each March through the Educational Theatre Association of Canada. This is a month where we work with our troupes to advocate for the essential nature of theatre being a part of our schools curricular delivery.
