“If your time at Happyvale Elementary School in Kamloops was marked by sexual harm, please know you are not alone, and what happened was not your fault or your responsibility. You don’t have to have all the answers, or even know if you want to proceed; we simply want to listen to you.”

Happyvale Elementary School closed during the 2003-2004 school year due to declining enrolment numbers at the time. The facility housed multiple school district programs in the ensuing years and was renovated and reopened as a daycare facility in 2024.

Those wishing to apply for the class action can do so through Slater Vecchio’s website.

CFJC Today has reached out to both Slater Vecchio and the Kamloops-Thompson School District for comment.
