The Spring Carnival is an opportunity for False Creek Elementary to have a community building event for the families of the South False Creek and Fairview neighbourhood.

Play, eat, create and enjoy on May 11th, 2023, from 3:00 to 7:00

While this is a PAC fundraising opportunity, the primary goal is to host an inclusive event, without requiring a financial commitment from families.
