Sol the Bear

Hello! My name is

Let's learn together!

From the very beginning, Sol has seen that there is something important to learn, but not everyone learns the same way.

Some people learn easily, some people need more time, and some people learn best in places that feel safe, supportive, and inclusive.

Sol loves Vancouver Region Educational Services because they work hard to create spaces that feel this way for all learners.

Sol is not just a mascot, but a story of the land, of people, of learners, and of gentle strength in seeking education in a complex world. Grounded in local ecosystems and drawing on cultural wisdom, Sol is a symbol of gentle strength, knowledge, and Vancouver Region Educational Services itself. In every classroom Sol enters, every hand Sol waves to, and every booth Sol sits at, Sol brings the message: "You belong here. Your learning journey matters!'
