Every winter, Abbotsford School District French Immersion schools come together to celebrate a beloved tradition that brings warmth, excitement, and cultural appreciation to the chilly months. Inspired by Quebec City’s famous Carnaval de Québec, we have made it a tradition to embrace French Canadian heritage through food, music, and outdoor festivities—giving students a chance to create lasting memories year after year.

We rounded out our Carnaval celebration week with a pancake breakfast for all staff and students! 1000 pancakes were served in less than 45 minutes. The pancakes were enjoyed in the gym while listening to French Canadian music. Thank you to all our lovely volunteers, these events could not happen without you!
