Regional Diversity

BC’s best-kept secret, the Northwest is a stunning area of natural beauty, an awakening economy and spirited people, and home to the Kermode bear. Housing is affordable and recreational activities are diverse and limitless. Mountains, glaciers, oceans, lakes, a fruit-growing climate, no crowds or pollution, cultural events, and friendly people…what more could you want?

Specialty Programs

Our diverse programs include First Nations language and culture, elementary band, French immersion, career education (ACE-IT and secondary school apprenticeship), hot meal programs, community school partnerships, parents as literacy supporters, PACES (young parent program), summer camps and Friday camp. Our employee wellness committee offers a variety of opportunities to try something different.

Community Culture

Our district is open and welcoming. We value the diversity of cultures in our communities, particularly our First Nations (Tsimshian, Haisla, Gitksan and Nisga’a), and we adapt quickly to ensure our students are prepared for change, whether local or global.

Draw for Employees

Northwest British Columbia offers outstanding opportunities for recreation and culture combined with excellent medical and community services (including seven flights daily to Vancouver) in a beautiful, safe and affordable environment. This is a great place to bring up a family: people come for a year and stay for a lifetime.
