Fort William Sanatorium was a tuberculosis hospital or sanatorium in Fort William, Ontario, today part of the city of Thunder Bay. It opened in 1935 as a tuberculosis treatment centre for settlers, adding 20 government-funded beds for Indigenous patients in 1941. Fort William was partially used as a provincial school from 1944 on to 1971, and a day school for the local Indigenous population between 1950 and 1953. It is unclear whether the hospital was fully racially segregated at any point during its operation, or whether settler and Indigenous patients were treated in different wings or areas of the hospital at the same time.
