School District 83 Kwsaltktnéws ne Secwepemcúl'ecw is a school district in British Columbia. This includes the major center of Salmon Arm and the area around Shuswap Lake as well as the northern Okanagan communities of Armstrong and Enderby.
In 2024, the School District No. 83 Board of Education voted to adopt the Secwépemctsín name "Kwsaltktnéws ne Secwepemcúl’ecw," meaning “we are all connected (people, animals, sky, land, and water) on Secwépemc land.” The Secwépemc name was gifted to the school district by the Adams Lake Indian Band, Sk’eEtsin, Skwlāx te Secwepemcúl’ecw, and Splatsin.
History School District 83 was created in 1996 with the merger of School District 21 Armstrong-Spallumcheen and School District 89 Shuswap.
