WHAT’S HAPPENING
Watch the Parade and Cheer on Our Grads!
It’s almost time to celebrate our amazing BCCA Grads!
As part of our graduation festivities, we’re thrilled to continue a special tradition—our Grad Parade! This fun and meaningful event is a chance for our grads to be cheered on by family, friends, and our wider community as they drive through the city in celebration of all they’ve accomplished. Below you’ll find important details about the parade route, arrival times, and how to take part. Let’s make this a joyful and memorable send-off!
