Lejac Archives...

Hi. I would like to thank Jim Callanan (formerly Brother James) who sent us the disk containing over 300 photos of Lejac from the late 1950s to about 1970. We have so far uploaded only a small portion of our collection. Eventually I hope to get all the photos up and posted. Keep checking back for our regular updates.

Shirley & Ronnie...



Shirley Hansen & Ronnie Duncan both of Tache north of Fort St. James pose for those famous Lejac 'school pictures'. Dressing up and going for a photo shoot on a Saturday afternoon was one way we took the boredom out of residential school life. For both student and their supervisor. I think the girls made all their own outfits. Awesome!

Chinky & Victor...



Every now and then our Supervisors would ask us to all dress up for School Pictures. And so we'd go up to dorm and pick out our Sunday best. Here's a really nice picture of Pauline Joseph of Pinche (or Portage) and Victor Williams of Babine. This photo from our Lejac archives courtesy of Jim Callanan, circa 1970.
