Mark Pearmain

Mark Pearmain is the district superintendent of Surrey, British Columbia, where he oversees the largest school district in the province. Under his leadership, the district has recently decided to pause all field trips to the United States due to concerns over potential negative experiences at the border, particularly for students from diverse backgrounds, including those who may not be Canadian citizens. Pearmain emphasizes the importance of ensuring the safety of students and staff and encourages exploring opportunities within Canada.
