Selkirk College PartnerShip
The Continuing Education Program at Selkirk College has long been a supportive partner of LiR. For many years they managed our membership and course registration, as well as scheduled the space for our Friday presentations and most of our courses.
Fall 2026 will see some changes with the partnership. LiR members will still register with Selkirk College as students. Selkirk College will continue to collect and manage our membership list and will continue to host our Friday morning presentations. The Co-ordinator of Continuing Education will continue to sit on LiR’s Board of Directors as the liaison for Selkirk College.
Most courses, however, will now be off-campus. Registration for these courses will be managed directly by LiR, while registration for the few on-campus courses will be handled by Selkirk College.
LiR members contribute to annual scholarships and bursaries to support students in the Selkirk College Health Care Assistant Program. Students who are chosen as recipients are those planning to work in the field of geriatrics.
LiR members are considered students of Selkirk College and are welcome to gather in the student commons building.
