About our District
School District No. 67 (Okanagan-Skaha) is located in the South Okanagan region of British Columbia Canada. Located between Okanagan Lake and Skaha Lake, the region provides for hot summers and dry winters. Year-round recreational activities are available in this region. Located about a 4 hour drive east of Vancouver, School District No. 67 services the areas of Penticton, Kaleden, Summerland and Naramata.
The region itself is varied geographically and offers breathtaking scenery with its rolling hillsides, mountains, and lake views. The Okanagan is well known for its orchards, providing cherries to apples to peaches. To the east and west, mountains form the backdrop while the valley between the ranges is nestled between two warm lakes. The District is fortunate to be able to live, learn and do our work on the traditional, ancestral and unceded territory of the Okanagan (Syilx) People.
