Trivia Night
We’re hosting a fundraising Trivia Night to support the launch of the AOEC Youth Committee — and we’d love for you to join us.
Many of you know the Anti-Oppression Educators Collective (AOEC) as a community of 300+ educators across B.C. working toward justice, equity, and liberation inside and outside our classrooms. Now, we’re expanding this work by creating space for youth leadership within our collective.
In 2026, we are launching the AOEC Youth Committee designed to ensure that young people whose voices are essential to true anti-oppressive work, have a real, meaningful seat at the table. Their leadership, vision, and lived experience are not just valuable; they are vital.
Expect fun questions, on-brand themed rounds, good energy, and great prizes. We’ll also have raffle items and a prize for the winning team from some amazing community donors. All funds raised go directly toward building and sustaining the Youth Committee.

BOOK CLUB: Disability Visibility
AOEC is thrilled to announce our book club read for this school year is Alice Wong’s Disability Visibility. By now, you may have learned that Alice Wong passed away on November 14th. We mourn her passing and look forward to relishing her work with you.
Our executive committee chose this particular book because we feel it is necessary to explore the realm of Disability Justice to understand how we all produce and perpetuate ableism in our communities. Alice Wong invites us in this anthology to learn from disabled artists and activists so we can manifest love and justice in our communities, because inclusion is solidarity.

UNLEARNING THE COLONIAL: Digging Deeper
<PSA DAY APRIL 2024>
Are you ready for AOEC’s Comeback Tour 2024?!
After our inaugural 2019 conference “Unlearning the Colonial”, we’re digging deeper into the learning, unlearning, and reckoning with interlocking systems of oppression in education and our society. To honour five years as Anti-Oppression Educators Collective, we have planned a special spring conference with award-winning Gitxsan journalist and author Angela Sterritt, a powerful lineup of all-day workshops, a mouth-watering catered lunch by Watari, and a spectacular performance by Byrne Creek Secondary student dancers!
