It’s one of the most generous learning pathways you can take for others and a new tool for first aid training at Selkirk College is helping add an important level of comfort when it comes to life-saving measures. To help provide training that is more applicable to different body types, Selkirk College has adaptated some of the mannequins used in courses.  

Selkirk College students and staff were involved in a motor vehicle accident that occurred on Highway 3A between Castlegar and Nelson on Thursday afternoon, June 30. Eighteen Selkirk College students and staff members, primarily from the Explore Program, were on the BC Transit bus that was involved in the collision. One student suffered serious injury in the crash and was transferred to Kelowna hospital on the evening of June 30. Sadly, the student has since passed away. A statement from Selkirk College President Maggie Matear:

In a fitting end to a semester of learning, students in the School of Business put newly acquired knowledge and skills to the test before a panel of community experts in a competition that brought exciting entrepreneurial concepts to the first stage of reality.

Selkirk College's eight-month Web Development Program is focused on providing learners the knowledge and skills necessary to enter in-demand careers that combine flexibility of lifestyle with rewarding work outcomes. Starting in September, the time has never been better to crack the code to your future.

A West Kootenay spring tradition busting with creativity and craftsmanship, the annual Fine Woodworking Year-End Show returns to in-person in late-May with almost two dozen learners eager to display what they have learned over the last nine months.

A supportive learning environment is foundational at Selkirk College and on May 12 the broader community is being invited to participate in Giving Day, a 24-hour fundraising campaign that provides a lifetime of difference for students.
