Seismic Mitigation Program
The Provincial Seismic Mitigation Program is a comprehensive seismic upgrading program to make schools safer in the event of an earthquake.
The Vancouver Project Office (VPO) is a joint Ministry of Education (MoE) / Vancouver Board of Education (VBE) undertaking, formed in 2014 to complete seismic projects as efficiently and economically as possible. In November 2016, the Vancouver Project Office (VPO) was directed to look for ways to fast-track seismic upgrades or replacements in Vancouver and an updated Memorandum of Understanding for 2017 was created and later amended on June 1, 2021. The VPO is responsible for managing seismic Project Teams throughout the feasibility, design and construction phases. Each Project Team consists of:
- VPO staff
- School principal
- Consultants (architect and engineers)
- Contractors
