Department Information

Dehcho Divisional Education Council

Welcome to Dehcho!

Dehcho means "big river" - the Dene name for the Mackenzie River. In the Dehcho region, where the Northwest Territories borders British Columbia and the Yukon, you'll find some of the grandest displays of the North's natural beauty.

Here, mountains rise to unclimbable heights, waterfalls roar between colossal canyons, and the big river runs past communities where traditional living remains vibrant and thriving. Big River. Big Mountains. Big Hearts.
