Welcome to the fall. You’ll notice that like the leaves on the trees in late-September and early October, this issue of the Superintendent’s Report looks a bit different than it did a few months ago.

Welcome back to Aboriginal Education, 2023-2024.

A warm welcome to September and to the 2023-2024 school year. I am pleased to welcome every one of our more than 4700 students and each family whose child or children have embarked on what may be a first or a next chapter of their educational journey within School District No. 8 (Kootenay Lake).

Another school year is coming to completion - June is one of the most exciting months of the year for everyone in SD8.

We acknowledge, respect, and honour the First Nations in whose traditional territory the Kootenay Lake School District operates and all Aboriginal Peoples residing within the boundaries of School District #8. 

Welcome to the opening ceremony for the 2023 wuqanqankimik RunWalkWheel event.

May has been a bright, sunny, and busy month in Ab Ed!

May 5 is the National Day of Awareness for Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women, Girls, and Two Spirit Peoples (MMIWG2S). It is also known as Red Dress Day. May 1 to 7 is the Canadian Mental Health Association (CMHA) Mental Health Week. May is also Mental Health Awareness Month across North America. This report includes articles related to each of these events.
