All Saints (NWT)

Dates of Operation

August 1, 1936 - August 31, 1959

Description

In the mid-1930s, the Anglican Church closed its residential schools in Shingle Point and Hay River, transferring the students to the new All Saints School in Aklavik, NWT. Over time, as more students moved to the community to attend the day school, the residence became increasingly overcrowded. In 1959, All Saints was closed and its students were transferred to Inuvik.
