Father Lasalle came to Lejac maybe in 1968. He was French and like many of us liked hockey. We used to scrimmage on the ice, all us boys and supervisors and I remember he was a bit of a rough player. But that’s hockey. That was at the rink. At school he also taught us French one year starting in Grade 7 in 1969. They introduced French as a subject because some of students were going to be graduating soon, and you need French once you enter public school. French was such a new thing for all us native kids at residential school.
