About School District 91:

The District is committed to continuous improvement and success of each learner through the implementation of evidence-informed practices that enhance student learning, inclusivity and equity of outcomes.

Our region has been traditionally reliant on forestry, mining, and agriculture but has seen an emerging tourism sector over the last decade.

In addition to the community schools, SD91 also operates , a non-standard, Provincial Online Learning School (POLS) that enrolls several thousand full and part-time students.
