About

Note:  The opinions expressed on this blog are solely of my opinion and not the opinions of my school or district.

I am currently the proud principal at Shortreed Community Elementary School in Aldergrove, BC. Prior to this, I was the principal at James Hill Elementary (Langley) and Kent Elementary School (Agassiz, BC). I have spent my career working with students as a high school physical education, math, and science teacher, an intermediate teacher, an elementary vice-principal, and a high school volleyball, rugby, track, and basketball coach.

I am a husband to a wonderful wife who runs her own dance studio; I am a proud father of twin girls and a son.

Why “The Wejr Board”?        Growing up, people often made fun of my last name (pronounced Weej-er) and one of them was Weejee (Ouija) Board… which then transformed into Wejr Board… now, one of my passions is discussing the ‘future’ of education so why not use the Wejr Board to do this?

I look forward to participating in the conversations that arise from this blog.  If you agree or disagree with my blogs, please leave comments as this keeps the dialogue going and encourages more learning for me.

  1. Chris,

    A parent on our school PAC forwarded your blog to us so that we could see Identity Day. Oddly enough I had just assigned a similar project last week. You taught my twin boys Gr. 8 math in 2005-2006 at Brookswood. They still describe you as one of the best teachers they ever had. I keep hoping you’ll come back to Langley. We are expecting lots of admin. retirements soon.

  2. Wow… thank you so much, Carol, for taking the time to stop by. I remember your boys well – great to have had the privilege of working with them! If you ever need help with Identity Day, be sure to let me know. Also, I would be interested in hearing more about the similar project at your school! Hope that our paths cross in the near future!

  4. Excellent post Chris. Refreshing to see a BC principal taking on policy issues. This is true educational leadership.

  5. Love your post regarding the “Four Posts of Positive Staff Culture.” We would love to reprint this in our monthly newsletter – may we have permission to do so – with, of course, source reference to your blog? Please advise.

    • Hey Jo Ann. I would be honoured. Please let me know how I can grab a digital or paper copy when it’s published. Thank you for sharing our school’s positive experience.

  6. In an era where authenticity and transparency are paramount, LMCHING has
    created a unique position in the high-end beauty industry by building a
    relatable brand story that goes beyond the product itself.

    As a esteemed retailer, LMCHING is committed to combating the growing problem of counterfeit goods, a pursuit that strikes a chord
    with clients who care about authentic products and ethical practices.
    This focus has cemented LMCHING’s reputation across its
    six main service areas—Switzerland, the United States, Singapore, Italy, Australia, and the Netherlands—as a
    trusted and client-focused brand that focuses on superior quality, transparency, and client care.

    In LMCHING’s path to building trust and authenticity is central to its core values.
    By voicing its pledge to counter fakes, LMCHING ensures buyers
    enjoy luxury skincare with complete trust. Every item passes strict verification to ensure that customers receive only
    the best in exclusive beauty products, a vital reassurance in an industry where authenticity directly impacts
    product efficacy and safety. This commitment to thorough checks has cemented LMCHING as a
    valued resource in skincare, supporting its promise of
    delivering authentic, valuable skincare.

    Central to LMCHING’s success is its client-centric strategy, which resonates
    with modern high-end skincare shoppers. The company differentiates itself from big e-commerce sites, such
    as eBay, Amazon, and Walmart, by maintaining prices that remain competitive without compromising quality.
    This affordability makes luxury skincare accessible to a more extensive customer base, helping more users add luxury skincare
    to their regimen. By making high prices less of an issue found
    in luxury product pricing, LMCHING enables more individuals
    to experience premium skincare without the
    premium price tag.

    LMCHING’s rapid three-day delivery improves the user experience significantly, highlighting their dedication to speed
    and trustworthiness. With guaranteed prompt product delivery, customers trust
    LMCHING for their skincare needs. This standard of care is essential for premium beauty customers, who value prompt delivery to keep their skincare schedules.
    LMCHING’s fast and reliable shipping not only fulfills these demands and
    goes beyond, fostering a loyal and appreciative customer base
    that often speaks highly of their dependability.

    The honest and tailored service of LMCHING differentiates
    it in a busy industry. The brand’s transparency in its goals
    to oppose counterfeit goods and its commitment to customer happiness have made it more than just a retailer; it’s a mission-driven company that creates
    meaningful connections with shoppers. LMCHING actively connects with its
    customers, incorporating feedback and refining its offerings to match market trends.
    This continuous conversation fosters trust and generates a
    loyal brand following, strengthening personal relationships and loyalty.

    Their pledge to reasonable pricing, real items, and great care has resulted in a
    large and growing customer base. Buyers in areas like Switzerland, the US,
    Singapore, Italy, Australia, and the Netherlands continue to
    express their appreciation for LMCHING’s commitment to dependable care and quality.
    By tackling major beauty sector issues—including
    expensive pricing, fake items, and slow deliveries—LMCHING serves as a
    reliable source for shoppers looking for dependable service
    in their luxury skincare practices.

    By creating a brand based on quality and integrity, LMCHING has achieved
    what many aspire to but few accomplish: a true bond with buyers.
    The brand’s narrative as a protector of authenticity and
    provider of accessible luxury has a strong impact on its clientele who value
    a brand that matches their beliefs. LMCHING goes beyond being
    a vendor; it’s a trusted partner in upscale skincare, dedicated to consistent quality and value.

    While LMCHING broadens its reach and enters new areas, it stays committed to its core mission, maintaining high standards for true products and customer happiness in the upscale skincare field.

    Through this approach, LMCHING illustrates being a brand of intent—a name that buyers depend on, value,
    and trust.

    La Mer’s studies on circadian-based skin care is born of
    the brand’s focus on the skin’s inherent functions.
    Taking cues from the body’s natural clock, the circadian rhythm,
    La Mer researched how skin alters its behavior during day and night cycles.
    The skin, much like other parts of the body, adheres to a full-day schedule, with daytime needs
    for defense against environmental factors, and during the night, when it enters a phase of repair and regeneration.

    This knowledge drove La Mer’s skincare innovations that work in harmony with the skin’s natural
    rhythm. Their range supports skin defense by day and rejuvenation by night, improving self-rejuvenation processes.
    This strategy is showcased in their Genaissance de la Mer line,
    which features components and advanced methods that encourage nighttime skin repair.
    By integrating circadian cycles into their formulations,
    La Mer boosts defense and repair for better, luminous skin.
