BCATML welcomes all language exhibitors and publishers to this year's Celebrating Languages Conference!
Gurpreet Bains will be this year's conference Keynote!
Gurpreet Kaur Bains is an award winning teacher with 20 years teaching experience. She is the Modern Languages Department Head of Surrey's LA Matheson Secondary School. Gurpreet embodies her beliefs in empowering students, engaging community, and thinking critically around culture, all through Punjabi Language instruction. She has worked with the Next Hundred Years Mentorship Program, Kaur Project, VISAFF, Shakti Society, Dhahan Youth Prize, Surrey School District Film and Speech festival, the Punjabi Language Education Association, and the Indus Media Foundation. All of this falls under the umbrella of Punjabi Mustang; a program dedicated to taking ownership of language and connecting to one’s roots.
Gurpreet strongly believes that collaboration between teachers, languages, and subjects are key. This is highlighted with her partnerships with a diverse group of community partners to include Mustang Justice. She believes that a language is not just words.
