GOING TO FORT....




I’m not entirely sure but that may be the little church overlooking Stuart Lake at Fort St. James in the first photo above. The church below St. Maria Goretti School in the far right corner of the picture with the Lejac Boys Band in this early 1960s picture. The Band often travelled to such northern towns throughout the 1960s and 70s to perform for the crowds. Sometimes family showed up to these events giving the boys’ an opportunity to spend a few precious moments with their parents as demonstrated in the 2nd photo with Benny Joseph and his two younger brothers. I’m guessing that is their parents standing behind them. This photo ca. 1964
