I saw this photo quite some time ago at the Lejac group on Facebook and my first reaction was one of the boys in the photo looked a lot like my brother when he was maybe 7 years old. If that was the case then this picture would be from about 1960 but upon closer examination I realized these kids don't dress like we did in the early or mid 1960s at Lejac Indian Residential School. So I made that comment as did someone else on the Facebook group then the Chief from Nadleh First Nation near Fraser Lake said it was actually a photo from a residential school in the Yukon and the teacher's name was likely Mrs. Colbourn. Thank God for social media.
