Editing Normal school (section)

====British Columbia====
In 1901, the first Provincial Normal School in [[British Columbia]] was opened in [[Vancouver]]. Classes commenced on 9 January 1901. In January 1909, the Provincial Normal school moved into a new facility and its own building located at 11th and Cambie (now part of City Square Mall). In 1915 a second Provincial Normal School opened in Victoria. Trainee teachers from greater Vancouver and the lower Mainland attended the Normal School in Vancouver. Students from [[Vancouver Island]] and students outside the [[Lower Mainland]], that is, from the Upper Fraser Valley and communities in the interior of the province – enrolled in the Normal School in Victoria. That school was originally located in [[Victoria High School (British Columbia)|Victoria High School]] and later in its own building which is now part of [[Camosun College]]. In 1956 the responsibility for provincial teacher training was transferred to The [[University of British Columbia]].
