Access to School

  • The school was located on Pelican Lake about 6 miles by air from the town of Sioux Lookout.
  • Access to the school was boat or train from Sioux Lookout and possibly by float plane.
  • Repairs

  • The exterior of the building needed repairing as many of the boards were warping.
  • The principal requested that fire-proof insul-brick be installed of the exterior boards as the school had become very difficult to heat during the last few winters.
  • Safety

  • While there was equipment to fight fires the school had to depend upon its staff and students to operate the equipment and to fight a fire.
