Hide Overview

There is an ever-growing need for skilled technologists to play a critical role in understanding, managing and protecting our vital natural environments. Whether your interests lie in the importance of ensuring the integrity of fish and wildlife habitats or creating sustainable outdoor recreation opportunities, this program is for you.

Experience-based learning using new technology gives you the hands-on skills and knowledge necessary to successfully compete for jobs like park rangers, provincial fisheries and wildlife technologist and recreation technologist. 

Practical training includes computer systems for environmental technologies, ecosystem health and management, fish and wildlife identification and management, parks and recreation management, avalanche awareness, and back-country navigation and travel. Our outdoor classroom provides relevant learning experiences for you to gain valuable skills in backcountry recreation and fish and wildlife management and get practical training in computer systems for environmental technologies, ecosystem health and management, fish and wildlife identification and management, parks and recreation management, avalanche awareness and backcountry navigation and travel.

*This program may be eligible for the post-graduation work permit (PGWP).

Accreditation

The Recreation, Fish and Wildlife Technology Program is nationally accredited through Technology Accreditation Canada (TAC). It is provincially accredited by the College of Applied Biologists.

To help ensure the program is relevant, the quality of the program has been assessed against industry outcomes. The program receives feedback from our Program Advisory Committee, which consists of industry and government representatives, including many past graduates.

Transferability

The Recreation, Fish & Wildlife Program ladders into the Bachelor's Degree in Geographic Information Systems. 

There is a long-standing tradition of our graduates transferring and successfully completing university degrees. Program graduates have successfully transferred credit toward degrees in universities throughout Canada and the United States.

Selkirk College also has formal transfer agreements with:

  • Thompson Rivers University, Bachelor of Natural Resource Science
  • Lethbridge University, Bachelor of Applied Conservation Enforcement
  • Vancouver Island University, Bachelor Natural Resource Protection

Please note that students planning to transfer into a degree program at another post-secondary institution must check the transfer requirements of the program they wish to enrol in. It is strongly recommended that students consult with the program advisor of the receiving institution to ensure that they have all of the necessary transfer requirements.

Common Core

The first year of the Recreation, Fish & Wildlife consists of a core of environmental courses in soils, hydrology, botany, surveying, fish and wildlife, ecology, mapping, communications, computers and math. This core year is common with the Applied Environmental Science and Planning Technology (AESP) and Forest Technology programs.

The second year of each program synthesizes the skills, knowledge, and professionalism of first year with applied management, planning, and advanced techniques and principles. Integration of learning in each program is required.

The common core allows students to obtain an additional diploma in Applied Environmental Science and Planning Technology or Forest Technology by completing the relevant third year.

Graduation and Promotion

In order to receive your credential in your program, you must maintain a minimum GPA of 2.00.

PROMOTION

1. Promotion to Subsequent Semester
Each semester must be completed with a Grade Point Average of 2.00 ("C" average) or better with no more than two grades below a "C" to continue into the next semester. GPA will be based on all grades for courses scheduled for a given year and semester as per the course calendar. All grades below a "C" grade must be raised to a satisfactory level to graduate.
Students not eligible to continue to the next semester must repeat all courses with grades below a "C" prior to proceeding to the next semester.

2. Admission Requirements - Second Year
Normally all first-year courses must be completed with a grade of "C" or better before a student is admitted to the second year of their program. Students in this situation should contact the School Chair.

3. "C-" Grade
Students receiving a final grade of "C-" in the prerequisite course will be required to withdraw from the subsequent course requiring the prerequisite. Students receiving the "C-" grade must re- register in, and successfully complete the course with a "C" grade or better before going on to the subsequent course.

4. "P" Grade

Students receiving a final grade of "P" in a prerequisite course will not be allowed to register in a subsequent course requiring the prerequisite. Students receiving the "P" grade must re- register in, and successfully complete the course with a "C" grade or better before going on to the subsequent course.

5. "F" Grade

A grade of "F" requires re-registering in, and repeating, the entire course. Under normal circumstances and due to changing course content, students receiving an "F" in a course(s) will be required to repeat the course within one year to receive credit. If an "F" grade is received twice in a particular course, the student will not be allowed to repeat the course again and will be required to withdraw from the program.
