AL Fortune Secondary

A.L. Fortune Secondary is located in Enderby, a picturesque community right below the famous Enderby cliffs and beside the historic Shuswap River. Locals and tourists can often be found hiking the cliffs or floating down the river where steamboats used to stop. Enderby is known for a variety of outdoor activities, including tubbing, canoeing, kayaking and paddle-boarding on the river, hiking, snowmobiling, boating, golf, cross-country skiing and many more. Agriculture, forestry, retail, tourism and especially a vibrant First Nation’s community form the backbone of this delightful small town.
