Celebrating the Launch of The Patrika Community Newsletter

August 25, 2026

We are pleased to join The Patrika in celebrating the launch of its Abbotsford Community Newsletter, a new resource designed to share local stories, helpful information and community connections with Abbotsford residents. 

The inaugural newsletter launched with a special focus on Back to School, as students and families prepare for the 2026-27 school year. The Abbotsford School District is proud to be featured in this first newsletter, which includes back-to-school information, family resources and opportunities to stay connected with our schools and district. 

As part of the launch, Superintendent Dr. Nathan Ngieng joined The Patrika Community Conversations for Starting the School Year with Confidence. Dr. Ngieng shared tips for staying engaged in a child’s learning and accessing accurate, timely information from their school and the Abbotsford School District.  

We congratulate The Patrika team on this exciting milestone and are pleased to support another way for families to stay informed, connected and engaged in the Abbotsford community.
