Selkirk College, founded on April 1, 1967, was the first regional community college in British Columbia. In the 2005-2006 school year, Selkirk College had an enrollment of over 2,200 students. Selkirk College's motto is "Best of all, inquire" which comes from a famous Doukhobor poem.

Originally with one campus in Castlegar, Selkirk College now has eight campuses across the West Kootenay region: Castlegar, Nelson (3 campuses), Trail, Nakusp, Grand Forks, and Kaslo.

The College offers a broad range of programs, though some only offer the first two years of a four year degree. The programs range from university arts and sciences transfer, nursing, business, aviation, renewable resources, hospitality and tourism, and the trades.
