Assiniboia

HISTORICAL NOTES
The house was built in 1915 as an orphanage. In 1945, it became a veterans' hospital. In July 1958, the Oblate Fathers became the owners and converted it into a high school for native students. The Grey Nuns worked there for twelve years and then the Sisters of Saint Joseph accepted to replace them and dedicate themselves to serving the native students.
