The 2025-2026 Lord Byng PAC Annual Fundraising Campaign
The Lord Byng PAC has launched its annual fundraising campaign and is seeking support from families. Last year, the community contributed over $24,355, which helped fund equipment for ADST programs, support for academic and extracurricular clubs, and laptops for student use.
This year, the PAC aims to raise funds for key areas including Technology, Arts, and Sports to continue enhancing students’ educational experiences. Families who are able are encouraged to donate $150 (or any amount), with tax receipts provided.
Donations can be made through SchoolCashOnline by selecting “Lord Byng Secondary PAC” and writing “Lord Byng PAC Direct Appeal” in the message field. A step-by-step guide is available to assist with the online donation process.

PAC Fundraising
The PAC administers two main sources of funds for Lord Byng Secondary. The first source is the British Columbia Gaming Grant. The PAC applied for this grant in the previous year and typically receives it in October of the following year. These funds can be spent on extra-curricular activities and in-province field trips.
The second source of funds comes from our Direct Appeal Fundraiser. We ask parents/guardians who are able to donate $50-$150 to Byng Secondary. All donations are tax-deductible. In previous years, we have used these funds to buy bigger ticket items such as risers for the music room, equipment for the science labs, and cardio equipment for the gym. These items are used by the entire school population.
Each September the PAC asks Byng Admin, Teachers, and Student Clubs to submit their "funding wishlist". The wishlist is organized by the PAC and is a way for the PAC and Byng families to provide a bit of extra support to the school. In October, we fund as many of the extracurricular 'wishlist' items as we can through the BC Gaming Grant and we try to fund the rest of the wishlist through the Direct Appeal.
We also run small fundraisers such as our grocery shopping fundraisers. More details can be found here.
Other groups at Byng will also fundraise throughout the year, including the Grad Committee, which fundraises for the many wonderful grad events that occur each June.
