COLLECTIONS CANADA

Hi Verne,

Anyway, I have located a lot (and I mean a lot) of documents about the Lejac IRS on the Library & Archives Canada website:

http://www.collectionscanada.gc.ca/microform-digitization/006003-110.02-e.php?&q2=2&interval=50&sk=251&PHPSESSID=rd2sjcqr7okd4iem5vtg5bq864

See Microfilm Reels:

· #270, c-8767

· #271, c-8768

· #272, c-8769

· #273, c-8770

I would recommend that you download the PDF files rather than the Jpegs files. The pdf files are much better quality. It will be a bit of a pain in the ass to download all of the files as you have to do each one, one at a time (there are hundreds of pages of information), but at least you can easily assembly all of the pdfs into one file for easier viewing. if you have the Adobe software.

Also, there are many other IRS that are also on this site, so you can spread the word to others who went to other IRS and Indian Day Schools as well.

I hope that you will find this information useful.

All the best,

Ed

OMG!!!

A friend of mine sent me a link to the Archives and here is just one sample from the location. I will be going through that stuff. I find historical information so amazing because it's a 'snapshot' of what went on before. I will try and download as musch as I can and post whenever I can get to it. Cheers all and you have nice day. Thank you ever so much Ed! I am truly indebted to you! Verne

TWO MORE ARTICLES FROM ED....

Thank you once again to Ed of Algoma University in Ontario from these articles from 1953 and 1955 of Lejac.

An interesting piece of information...

Thank you Ed Sadowski for this article from May 1950 by Father Clenaghan, O.M.I. regarding students at the school. I remember Fr. Clenaghan who was also the priest at McLeod Lake back in the early 1960s. Perhaps he was transferred from Lejac to the north following this article.
