Why School District 59?

School District No. 59 is recognized for its work in elementary literacy and aboriginal education. Our work in collaboration with Dr. Janet Mort and Margo Southall have helped out our students achieve positive successes in literacy development. Career Education and positive community relationships flourish across the district. In additional to school based instruction and learning facilities, we have an Outdoor Education facility – which includes a world class climbing wall – that is truly the envy of the North.
