Peace Bridge Public School is very fortunate to receive charitable funding by volunteering at our local Delta Uncle Sam’s Bingo Hall. We appreciate the opportunities that this initiative enables us to offer our school community through funding from Bingo revenues. The benefits that are offered through this initiative provide our students with various enrichment opportunities that support clubs and competitions, athletic programs, assemblies, presentations, transportation for trips and sporting events and many other resources as determined at our regular meetings.
School Council News
Bingo Volunteering Edition
By offering a small amount of your time, you can make a BIG difference.
Charity License and Bingo Revenue
Peace Bridge Public School is fortunate to have a charity license that provides the school with the opportunity to earn revenue for student enrichment. Our charity license is maintained by attending bingo as volunteers at our local Delta – Uncle Sam’s Bingo Hall. The money that is raised through volunteering benefits the entire school. School Council works together to make creative decisions and purchases with the bingo profits to benefit our students.
Bingo Volunteering
This opportunity is unique to our community and we need your support! Please consider becoming a volunteer representative for our school at our scheduled Bingo assignments. You can reach out to pbr@dsbn.org to receive additional information about assignment dates and how you can become involved.

Purchases Made with Bingo Revenue
Our school was recently able to purchase a class set of Chromebooks with money raised through bingo volunteering. With this purchase, the DSBN will include this set of Chromebooks with the regularly scheduled technology upgrades for the school. These devices provide access to valuable parts of the student’s curriculum. This was a substantial purchase that would not have been possible without our volunteers and the additional funds that were earned through our participation at our bingo assignments.
Thank you for taking the time to learn more about this excellent opportunity!
