The community of Pelly Crossing

The Hets’edän Kú’ Campus is located in the community of Pelly Crossing, within the Traditional Territory of the Selkirk First Nation. Hets’edän Kú’ is the Northern Tutchone name  given to the campus by Pelly Crossing Elders, and translates to "Learning House" in English.

The community of Pelly Crossing enjoys a quiet, laid-back lifestyle, and  the town lies within a spectacular natural environment. Summer months bring with it endless outdoor activities such as, fishing, hiking, and boating, and  exceptional recreational facilities keep the community active during winter.

 

Community Art Contest

This fall, the Hets’edän Kú’ Campus hosted an art competition for the students of the Eliza Van Bibber School.

There were two categories - K4 to grade 5 and grade 6 to 12. A number of students participated, and the winners received gift bags of art supplies so they could continue to pursue their craft.

An open house to view the amazing student artwork was held at the campus on November 1st. 

 

Public computer lab & internet access

The Pelly Crossing Campus has a fully equipped computer lab that is open to the public.

Drop by any time that there isn't a class in session and use one of the computers or access the internet on your own device.
