"It's an emerging process and we want to keep parents involved," Woods said. "We really feel like we need to have all of her staff coming and introducing to parents how its going to look like and when," he added.

The meeting takes place at 7 p.m., Wednesday, Oct. 28 in the Gallery room at Winslow Centre, 1100B Winslow Ave., Coquitlam.
