The Opportunity
SD8 is in one of the most physically spectacular, biodiverse and agriculturally and culturally rich regions in B.C. and across Canada. Its six families of schools are situated across 15,000 square kilometres of rivers, valleys, lakes, and three mountain ranges, with two main municipalities—the Town of Creston and the City of Nelson—and the villages of Slocan, Kaslo and Salmo and many smaller communities dotted in between.
If you want wilderness at your doorstep; vibrant arts, science, entrepreneurial and research communities; hyper-local shopping and restaurants; unparalleled recreation four seasons of the year; agricultural abundance and growing food security and sustainability; great K-12 and post-secondary education in your community; an affordable lifestyle; and a cultural and natural history and present that are deep, storied and increasingly diverse, then come pursue your professional and personal passions in SD8.
SD8 can provide you with a great career, opportunities for professional, technical and personal growth, a competitive salary, excellent pension and benefits, and committed colleagues who care about supporting children to learn and thrive.
Ask anyone who lives and works here, "Why the Kootenays?" and they will tell you they can't imagine living and working anywhere else.
Come live and work in SD8.
SD8 supports equity hiring for Indigenous applicants.
