Who are Teacher Trails BC

Teacher Trails BC was founded by two friends who share a passion for education and travel. One of us is from Ireland, the other from Australia, and while our paths nearly crossed many times—like when we both lived in the same suburb of Sydney—we didn’t officially meet until we started working at the same school here in Vancouver. Now, we both call the beautiful West End of Vancouver home.

With over 15 years of teaching and leadership experience in diverse countries, we understand the challenges of navigating new education systems firsthand. This inspired us to create Teacher Trails BC — to provide the support we wished we had during our own transitions into teaching in British Columbia.

Our mission is to facilitate a smooth transition for you into the BC education system while connecting you with a supportive network of fellow educators. Let us help you succeed in your teaching journey in British Columbia.
