In September 2010 the Vancouver Policing Centres presented the ICE (In Case of Emergency) program to the VSB. ICE cards are being distributed to all students through the school.
ICE is an internationally recognized acronym used as a name in a cell phone contact list or on a card carried by a person that Vancouver police, Vancouver fire, and BC Ambulance Service responders have agreed to look for as the contact number for whomever is appropriate to speak to or to reach on the person’s behalf, in the event of an emergency.
For the cards to be effective, parents/guardians should enter the student’s name and one or more phone numbers of people they would want emergency responders to contact in case of an emergency. These can include phone numbers of parents, grandparents, guardians, care givers or family friends.
For more information please download the PDF (includes translation), or look on the bulletin board in the School's main hall, near the office.
