Selkirk College

Selkirk College is British Columbia’s oldest rural community college and came to life after the regional taxpayers chose in a 1965 referendum to deliver a close-to-home post-secondary chance. Since 1966, it has been offering new and unique learning prospects. The College has grown to become a leading economic, social and cultural contributor.
