AS OF 2006 CHANGES 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 1996 with the reduction in the number of school districts. SEE ALSO REFERENCES EXTERNAL LINKS
