The Division is committed to providing students with learning environments that are safe, responsive, and inclusive. The Division recognizes that decisions about dress reflect individual expression of identity, socio-cultural norms, and economic factors and are intensely personal.
Students may attend Division and Division-related functions in dress of their choice under the conditions that the choices:
- Conform with established health and safety requirements for the intended activity (e.g. closed-toed shoes when travelling on trails, tying long hair back when in cooking classes, etc.);
- Do not promote drugs or alcohol; display offensive language or images; or encourage discrimination;
- Does not display the bare skin of genitals, buttocks, or nipples regardless of gender; and
- Does not break public indecency regulations or any other laws.
The Division provides the following guidelines to help students make informed choices about dressing appropriately for certain activities:
- While closed-toed shoes are required when travelling on trails, such footwear is also recommended to be worn when in travel classes.
- The PTCB is in a region that experiences frequent rainfall. It is therefore
recommended that students wear waterproof rain gear when outdoors as appropriate. - The PTCB is in a region that experiences frequent cold spells during the winter. It is therefore recommended that students wear warm clothing when outdoors as appropriate to insulate against the weather.
