All of British Columbia |
Many school districts were in existence prior to British
Columbia joining Canada in 1871.
Some districts were just single schools or even one teacher.
Traditionally school districts in British Columbia were either
municipal, which were named after the municipality such as
Vancouver or Victoria, or rural and given a regional name. Many
districts' names are a legacy of this pattern. In 1946, the Ministry of Education rearranged the
province into 79 school districts, giving each a number and a name.
The school districts were numbered geographically started in the
southeast corner and proceeding in a counter-clockwise pattern.
This has been disrupted by successive changes to districts. The
most recent changes occurred in April of 1996 with the
restructuring and reduction in the number of school districts from
79 to 57.[1]
