Prince Albert Indian Residential School (Prince Albert, Sask)

The Prince Albert Indian Residential School was founded within months of the fire that destroyed the All Saints School at Lac La Ronge, February 2nd, 1947. At the outset, the new school served as the replacement for the Lac La Ronge School, only relocated 200 km south to Prince Albert.

Anglican General Synod Archives:

  • 1968: Enrollment is 377, of which 352 are attending 14 city schools ranging from grades 1 to 9. Two residential classrooms remain, for the Beginners and the Opportunity classes.
  • 1969 Apr. 1: Government assumes operation of school and renames it Prince Albert Student Residence.
  • 1996: Student Residence closes and western part of site is soon cleared to make way for a municipal health centre. Peter Ballantyne Cree Nation uses remaining property for band offices and community social services, occupying some of the former dormitory cottages.
