Canoe trip

Here are photos of some of the boys on their canoe trip with Brother McCormick in about 1969. Looks like they had more fun swimming! A lot of log jams. photos courtesy of Jim Callanan

GHOST TOWN 1969

I'm pretty sure we posted this photo already a while back. It's a picture of the Babine guys at one of the cabins the Senior boys built in about 1968-69 at Ghost Town a couple miles from Lejac where we used to go camping. That's Victor Williams on the left with Paul West, and possibly Roger West and either Walter Madam or Alec West. photo courtesy of Jim Callanan

Dorm....

Here is a photo which gives you a good idea of what our dorms were like at residential school. They added bunk beds later due to the number of students registering at the school in the late 1960s. photo courtesy of Jim Callanan

Brother & the Boys

Brother Callanan is instructing the boys looks like in the Rec room. Not sure what he is showing them. We learned a lot of things from our supervisors and teachers at residential school. this photo from early 1960s
