9B is a Canadian television drama series which aired on CBC Television in 1989. The series was adapted from the 1986 CBC television film of the same name and was based on writer and former teacher Don Hunter's experiences teaching in northern British Columbia.
The series stars Robert Wisden as Bob Dawson, a British immigrant teaching in the fictional northern British Columbia community of Fort Hamilton. Dawson works with a class of students facing a variety of educational, family and social problems. The series was filmed in Toronto, Ontario, and on location in Fort Nelson, British Columbia.
9B was positively reviewed by several Canadian television critics but was not renewed by CBC after its short initial run. Despite its cancellation, the program subsequently received significant industry recognition, including selection for competition at the Banff Television Festival and eight nominations at the 1989 Gemini Awards, including Best Dramatic Series.
